feature: academy award-winner lupita nyong’o in talks to star in black panther movie alongside chadwick boseman

The goddess who goes by the name Lupita Nyong’o is currently in talks to star in Marvel’s much anticipated black superhero Black Panther flick, which stars Get Up and 42 actor Chadwick Boseman and Creed and Fruitvale Station‘s Michael B. Jordan. It’s unclear who the Academy Award-winner will play in the film, but all speculation points to a love interest role. Because of course. Either way, after seeing Boseman steal the show in Capitan America: Civil War, very hyped to see these two together on the big screen in 2018.
