Lupita Nyong'o in talks for Marvel's 'Black Panther'
Lupita Nyong'o has been rising in stature ever since her award-winning role in 12 Years a Slave. Now, the actress is in talks to join the Ryan Coogler-directed next solo chapter in the MCU, as Black Panther's as-yet unnamed love interest.
Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther made a thrilling arrival in the Marvel world with Captain America: Civil War. The character is the warrior king of a fictional African country named Wakanda.
Nyong'o made her feature debut with 'Slave' but has since appeared in films such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Jungle Book. Black Panther is lined up for a Feb 2, 2018 release date.
