Does that work or do you have other ideas for him? I like the Wakandan guard angle. I think that's a pretty nuanced way to interpret the character, he should be the Head of the Royal Security too. It would be interesting to see how, holding that title, he reacts to eventually failing and having T'Chaka be slain. Might send him into a dark place... but I would like if he's mostly good in this film. I'll handle the villain stuff in Black Panther

I would also like it if M'Baku and T'Challa had a very close relationship. Where he's almost like a father to him since T'Chaka was so busy ruling he could't be present all the time for his son. Would either of those contradict what you're planning? Or can they work?
