Lupita Nyong'o in Talks to Star in 'Black Panther'

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/black-panther-lupita-nyongo-talks-893213

Lupita Nyong'o, who won an Oscar for her performance in 12 Years a Slave, is in negotiations to star opposite Chadwick Boseman in Marvel Studios’ Black Panther.

Ryan Coogler, who wrote and directedCreed, is helming the comic book movie as well as writing the script.

Boseman and Black Panther were introduced in Captain America: Civil War, which crossed the $700 million worldwide mark in under a week and a half.

The character, whose name is T’Challa, is the warrior king of Wakanda, Marvel’s fictional African nation that is rich in an unbreakable alloy called vibranium.

N’yongo’s character has not been revealed although she will be the Panther’s love interest.

Panther has a February 2, 2018 release date with production aiming to start in early 2017.

N’yongo last appeared as the alien Maz Kanata in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and lent her voice for the wolf Raksha in The Jungle Book. She is also attached to star in DreamWorks’ Intelligent Life, a sci-fi drama currently seeking a director.


I think she'd be fantastic as his sister, Shuri

How about Nicole Beharie for the love interest?

It be nice to see Luptia on the big screen in the flesh again. She's beautiful but I peep how she just voicing all these CGI Characters

 

[Flawless]

Ain't no other black women in Hollywood, this chic is getting too much exposure

 

[JazzyBenz]

Gimme Nicole as his woman....Lupita can be the sista!!!

 

[D'Evils]

This will be her 4th movie with Disney.

2 voiceovers, 2 acting roles.
And 2 major franchises: Star Wars and MCU.

Fox owns the rights to X-Men, so that's a no-go.

I don't think they want to spend the money to acquire xmen

 

[Tuco]

My first thought reading this thread title was for Lupita to play Black Panther's sister (the one voiced by kerry washington on da marvel knights series)

Lupita is gorgeous & VERY talented. Hope she gets more actual work where shes SEEN on screen.

 

[gdatruth]

Happy i finally be able to SEE her in a movie but would want more for her than the romantic interest.

 

[Ill Paragraph]

Peace,

Saw this coming a mile away. Once they decide they've got a black 'it' girl, they use her like a boxer uses a jab.

 

[CptMARVEL]

I'm giddy with excitement for this one...

No different from what they do to their white "it" girls, like Jennifer Lawrence

Get in why you hot.
Just don't take every bullshit scripts like Zoe did with Nina.

She seems to choose quality roles so far.
