She protected a throne. Now she fights for a people.
Okoye (2025) brings one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most powerful and disciplined warriors to the center stage. Known for her unwavering loyalty, tactical brilliance, and unmatched combat skills, Okoye—general of the Dora Milaje—finally claims her own story in this bold, emotional, and action-packed solo film.
Set after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the film explores Okoye's exile from the Dora Milaje and her reluctant journey into a world outside the Wakandan royal order. No longer a general, no longer bound by tradition, she must redefine who she is—not just as a protector of Wakanda, but as a woman navigating broken loyalties, political unrest, and her own buried trauma.
When a mysterious pan-African paramilitary group threatens to destabilize the continent using stolen Wakandan technology, Okoye is forced to team up with an unexpected ally: Aneka, a former Dora who now leads a rebel faction. Their uneasy alliance takes them across Nigeria, Kenya, and the borders of Wakanda, challenging Okoye to embrace new tactics, new ideals, and new courage .
Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Woman King), Okoye (2025) blends high-octane action with emotional depth, telling a story of leadership, sisterhood, and legacy. With Danai Gurira delivering a fierce, grounded performance, the film finally lets Okoye’s silent strength speak volumes—and roar.
