Some great news for Marvel fans. It appears that none other than 12 Years A Slave actress Lupita Nyong’o is in talks for Marvel’s Black Panther.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Oscar-winning actress may be playing opposite Chadwick Boseman in Ryan Coogler‘s version of the comic book. The character of Black Panther just appeared in Captain America: Civil War, and actually had a pretty big part. Now we want to see more, and we’ll get our opportunity in 2018.
The trade says that Nyong’o is up for the role of T’Challa/ Black Panther’s love interest in the movie. T’Challa is the warrior king of Wakanda, Marvel’s fictional African nation that is rich in an unbreakable alloy called vibranium.
Marvel are yet to comment, but we’ll bring you more as we get it.
