Well, we have some fantastic casting news for the upcoming solo Black Panther movie, which will be directed by Creed director Ryan Coogler. Hollywood Reporter has word that Lupita Nyong’o is in talks to star in the film alongside Chadwick Boseman.

Nyong’o, ever the powerhouse actress, has won an Oscar for her performance in 12 Years A Slave, and last appeared as the alien Maz Kanata in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and as the voice for the wolf Raksha in The Jungle Book.
