Still considered one of the fiercest threats to wander into the Wakandan throne room, Erik Kilmonger (Michael B. Jordan) is such a scene-stealing villain not only because of Michael B. Jordan’s performance, but also the ridiculous wardrobe collection he has at his disposal — specifically the tactical outfit he wears in “Black Panther.” With the golden shoulder straps and blue top, it’s hard not to see the similarities that IGN brought to the star’s attention when he was promoting “Creed II.” However, it’s unknown if this was an intentional creative choice from director Ryan Coogler.
“Maybe. I’m not sure. Honestly, I really don’t know,” the star said. “It wasn’t something that Ryan and I discussed when we were trying to figure out what that looked like, but I think he always had … a battle vest on … I mean, Ryan likes anime, too. So maybe, hopefully.” The similarities don’t stop at the threads, either. Kilmonger and Vegeta are characters fighting for a legacy they feel more deserving of. Kilmonger has T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), and Vegeta has Goku.
Speaking of the legendary Saiyan, here’s how Goku from “Dragon Ball Super” could beat the MCU’s Thanos.
