CAPTAIN MARVEL (2019) / WONDER WOMAN (2017)
When Eugene Brave Rock’s character Chief introduces himself to Diana in Wonder Woman, in Blackfoot he says that his name is actually Napi. Kind of ironically, Napi is actually a Blackfoot demi-god trickster and storyteller, which kind of sort of fits with Chief/Napi’s role in the story as a goodhearted smuggler, as well as a slight tip of the hat to Diana’s true nature as well.
Given how the DCEU has been more open in its embracing the kitchen sink nature of its setting than over in the MCU, I guess it’s possible that Napi could be THE Napi… But it’s more likely that he’s named for the demi-god instead.
…Though it would be a means to get Eugene Brave Rock to come back for future stories… Hm…
I’m here for Chief being the real Napi in disguise, and Diana having a century-long friendship with another demi-god. The two of them get together a few times a decade to catch up and remember their mortal compatriots.

This is pretty cool! Have you seen this, @jayleeg?
Thank you for linking me! Awesome! I love it. God I would do damn near anything (within reason, lol) for a movie with both of them in it.
