They’re recognizable for their often shaved heads and gold earrings. Sometimes they wear high heels and slinky dresses like the woman in this scene does, and sometimes they wear traditional Wakandan garb. The actress who shares this brief scene with Scarlett Johansson and Chadwick Boseman is Uganda-born actress Florence Kasumba, credited as “Security Chief.”

Fans are still buzzing about “Captain America: Civil War.” The action epic was a massive success for Marvel and propelled many heroes’ storylines forward, while teasing new ones like Black Panther and Spider-Man.
With all that, it’d take a heroic amount of screen presence for a newcomer to stand out among the crowd. This woman does it with a single, sharp line: “Move. Or you will be moved.”
Appearing briefly in a scene with Black Widow and Black Panther, the unnamed woman made a lasting impression in “Civil War,” appearing in stark black with an intimidating glare and captivating presence that fans absolutely love:

Ugandan-born German actress Florence Kasumba is the striking woman and IMDB credits her as “Security Chief.” While she may seem like just a testy (and impeccably dressed) bodyguard, she’s actually a hugely significant part of the Black Panther story.

They come from all over Wakanda, an all-female guard established to create harmony among rival tribes. Though the (fictional) country Wakanda, located in equatorial Africa, has a tribal government, it is one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world, in part because of its use of its valuable natural resource, Vibranium.
The Dora Milaje use a combination of various martial arts, plus fighting styles native to Wakanda, making them formidable foes to even well-trained soldiers and ninja.
They are trained to use swords, spears, and nunchaku.
Historically, the Dora Milaje are potential queens and wives-in-training for an unmarried king.
Dora Milaje (“Adored Ones”), which include Okoye, Queen Divine Justice and Nakia. The Dora Milaje are daughters of rival tribes who have been selected to serve T’Challa as bodyguards and potential wives in order to keep the peace.
Also noteworthy: Aneka, the combat instructor for the Dora Milaje. She trained them in techniques that could combat robots in anticipation of Doomwar.
The Dora Milaje also play a vital role in the war against Thanos (known to MCU fans as the Infinity War) — they actually defy T’Challa at an inopportune time and leave him hanging. They decide, instead, to follow T’Challa’s sister Shuri, who enjoys a run as Black Panther herself. This is yet another possibility for actress Florence Kasumba — although it’s unlikely that the woman she played in Civil War is T’Challa’s sister, it’s still possible.
This woman with some undeniable swagger struts out with T’Challa to the Wakandan king’s car, where Black Widow is waiting for them, standing in front of the car door. “Move or you will be moved,” this woman says to Black Widow. Oh, man would that have been a fun showdown to watch. T’Challa clearly thinks so too: “As entertaining as that would be…” he says.

After a costly fight with Doctor Doom when he attempted to invade Wakanda, T’Challa assembled a special team of select Dora Milaje to fight him called the Midnight Angels.

They were specially trained to fight Doom’s robots and magic.
In the Civil War storyline in the comics, Black Panther is anti-registration, at odds with pro-registration Tony Stark. In the midst of all this controversy about the Superhero Registration Act, while T’Challa’s at the White House, a riot breaks out, and this incident leads the Dora Milaje to battle War Machine and his Sentinels.
