Near the start of the film, Graham's team is using a device created by Riri Williams to find vibranium deep in the Atlantic Ocean. They wind up disturbing Namor's people and get massacred as a result.

Fans have believed Bell's character may turn out to be the MCU's version of a "Fantastic Four" character named Lucia Von Bardas who works for Dr. Doom.

In "Wakanda Forever," Graham appears to die in a helicopter crash caused by Namor.

Bell previously voiced Black Widow on Disney+'s Marvel series, "What If...?"

"It's basically like African Siri. That's what I am," Noah recently said when describing his role in the first film to Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show."

According to Merriam-Webster, the term "griot" describes an African tribal storyteller and musician who preserved and passed down a tribe's history.
