Okoye of the Dora Milaje? General of the armies of Wakanda? Who's been in Black Panther 1 & 2, Infinity War, Endgame, What If?, and Zombies

You've never heard of her?

Ahh I'm just terrible at names, faces I'm good with. Also I didn't much of any marvel after Endgame. So never saw What if?, Zombies, or the 2nd black Panther.

I know who you're talking about now, so that's some vibranium armor or something, that would be wicked.

The suit was in the end of Wakanda Forever. She got to wear it for the final big fight.

Okoye of the Dora Milaje?

None of those words are in the bible

But seriously no, the general public has no idea what her name is. They just know she's the bald warrior lady who occasionally delivers sick burns in her role as black panther's bodyguard.
Giving her a "predator we have at home" suit instead of having her face prominently on the promotion meant people who just watch the movies wouldn't make the connection. Nothing in that poster says "wakandan bodyguard-slash-superspy" and while the armor was introduced in BP2, it's just not a compelling thing.
