Ulysses KlaueCharacter guide · Andy Serkis

Andy Serkis plays Ulysses Klaue, an arms trafficker introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron and brought into Wakanda’s story in Black Panther. D23’s character introduction describes his pursuit of vibranium and his history with the country. Klaue approaches a resource bound up with Wakandan identity as something he can take and trade.

Watch what the transaction leaves out

Compare the language of Klaue’s deals with the way Wakandans speak about their country. The contrast gives his scenes a purpose beyond the chase: the same material can be treated as a responsibility, a source of power, or a saleable object.

For his live-action appearances, watch Age of Ultron before Black Panther. Use the film guides for wider context; the later What If…? entry is an alternate animated story.
