Number one: Shuri.
Number two:Everyone else.
As Wakandas princess,Letitia Wrightis 2018s first true breakout.
Shuri is the closest thing we have to being in a group text with the Obama daughters.
Its not insignificant that this movies world is rooted in the ambition and finesse of a teenage girl.

We had discussions about the word colonizer, Cole told Vulture.
