If you’re gonna break out as a film actress, having your first credit be an Oscar-nominated Marvel movie is not a bad way to start. So goes the career of this Brazilian beauty, who made her movie debut as Linda Johnson in 2018’s Black Panther. Originally intended to be Tilda Johnson, aka Nightshade from the Marvel comics, the character was renamed after a version of Tilda appeared in the series Luke Cage. Nabiya was still a villain though, posing as a barista to poison a museum head in the film’s heist scene that introduces Michael B. Jordan’s Eric Killmonger. Then in 2023 Nabiya struck gold again, appearing in the musical Amazon Prime series Daisy Jones & The Six. In it, she plays disco queen Simone Jackson, who we see having a sexy sapphic affair with New Yorker Bernie (Ayesha Harris) after meeting at a party. She may not go nude, but we do see those nubs poking out in two different scenes. Nabiya sure be a hottie!
