label: Description
content: Coogler is pictured standing in a shallow pool of water facing the Dora Milaje and other actors in character, who stand facing him on the rocky shore. Coogler wears a blue and grey knit hat, a navy jacket over a black t-shirt and grey jeans, with tall black boots. He is gesturing with his proper right hand held out in front of him. Three unidentified crew members are to his proper right, facing away from the camera. On the shore facing him are eight (8) actors dressed as Dora Milaje warriors, wearing bodices and wrap skirts made of woven red and gold fabric over black leggings with beaded shell belts and necklaces and arm bands of stacked silver rings in the style of the Ndebele tribe's idzila. They also wear necklaces of large orange beads, blue and gold ankle bracelets, and brown leather sandals. They hold spears in their right hands. Partially visible in front of the Dora Milaje actors the white Zulu basket hat worn by Angela Bassett as Ramonda is just visible. Next to Bassett is Letitia Wright as Shuri, wearing a colorfully beaded neck and chestplate. At the top left of the image is Sope Aluko, as the character Shaman. Dressed in purple robes and head wrap with gold face paint and large silver earrings, Aluko has T'Challa's beaded panther claw necklace draped over her proper right arm and holds a small black ceremonial bowl in front of her chest with both hands. She is looking towards the other actors. On the left edge of the image is the back of a crewmember dressed in a blue jacket.
