Lupita Nyong’o is in talks to play the love interest of Chadwick Boseman’s superhero in Marvel’s “The Black Panther,” sources confirmed to Variety.
“Creed” helmer Ryan Coogler is on board to direct the film. Kevin Feige is producing the movie, which stars Boseman as T’Challa, the prince of the African nation of Wakanda, who must take over the mantel after his father’s murder. Marvel unveiled the character in “Captain America: Civil War” before the standalone film hits theaters on Feb. 16, 2018.
Nyong’o’s exact character is unknown at this time.
No lie...I'd rather see Beyonce play Storm. It's not as if Halle Berry put much acting effort into that role when she played that character. Beyonce as Storm would be a fierce bitch!
I'd rather see Lupita get a crack at headlining an epic feature film...a la "Queen of Sheba".
