In this film for obvious reasons, the onscreen talent all brought their A game to get the audience on board with this world so the performances all had a weight to them as well as being engaging, but of all the cast it's Duke that is obviously just having a blast of a time in his part.
Also, while for sure M'baku is used for adding some levity and is a fun character he's also never just a buffoon saying funny stuff to get a laugh from the audience. He's a fun character but he's still an impressive warrior with an imposing presence.
M'Baku turns out to be one of my favorite characters from the movie. I hope he'll get an even bigger role in the sequel.
It's been said by someone but I had to laugh and agree...M'Baku as played by Duke comes across as a black African Vultan (1980's Flash Gordon).
The idea of him sharing scenes with Drax, Hulk and/or Thor come IW amuses me no end. What a probably shame that we won't see or get that.

Holy ****, the mental image of those four quaffing mead is now something I want to see onscreen now.
This can be a new hero team. Maybe add Thing too in a few years. Either that or add Drax and M'Baku to the Revengers.

The Illuminati would have to fire all five of them into space to spare the Earth further damage and chaos.

Give the man what he wants. Throw in a BP outfit and reconstructed Mjolnir if it helps get him on the level required to drink with this crew.

I saw this with a friend from Kenya last night. He was very impressed and went in depth about how accurate Duke's portrayal was to its Nigerian roots. Which made me think back to that poor soul who tried to complain about Duke's accent a couple days back. People really do need to inform themselves before coming on the internet to comment. t:

I don't think he is going to wear the Man-Ape costume, I think that has some unfortunate implications that Marvel and Disney would rather avoid and I think making M'Baku a flat out villain next time would contradict what we see in this movie. I do think changing a character's role to fit with what the MCU is doing is sometimes better then trying to force the role they had in the comics, simply because that is the role they had in the comics.
