Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o is currently in talks to star in the highly anticipated Black Panther film, joining Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman. Nyong'o won an Oscar for the film 12 Years A Slave, and played the alien Maz Kanata in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Her character has yet to be named or described, but The Hollywood Reporter says that she'll serve as Boseman's love interest in the film. ComingSoon.net also makes the connection that her character could be a member of the Dora Milaje, which are Black Panther's all-female bodyguards and potential queens. So, if that means that we'll get more of Lupita Nyong'o in the MCU going forward, I'm definitely all for it.
Black Panther will be written and directed by Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station, Creed), and will star Chadwick Boseman in the title role, Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings trilogy, Planet of the Apes, Star Wars: The Force Awakens), and possibly Lupita Nyong'o.
The film is slated for release on February 16, 2018.
