Lupita
Nyong’o will be seen making her superhero movie debut with Black Panther. When
asked recently about her upcoming movie she said that movie Black Panther could
unite Americans and perhaps the rest of the world. 'Black Panther' is based on
the character introduced by Marvel in 1966, the first black superhero in mainstream
American comics.
Historically,
the superhero movie genre has always shown a way for diverse kinds of people to
come together and support good versus evil. Black Panther will be the first
superhero movie featuring a predominately black cast. The film follows the
Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), known as T’Challa, as he leads the fictional
African country of Wakanda during national security threats and an impending
uprising sparked by his nemesis Erik Killmonger.
“The
beauty of cinema is you all go into a room together and agree to suspend your
disbelief and share this experience of another world," said Lupita
Nyong’o. "For that moment, you are all one in that space, experiencing the
same thing. It reinforces our sense of community. These big blockbuster
superhero films appearing in moments when we’re so polarized are some of the
few chances we all get to be on the same page.”
The
Academy Award-winning actress stars as a warrior in the upcoming superhero
movie. Nyong’o plays one of Wakanda’s expert assassins, Nakia, who is also
T’Challa's love interest. The actress equates superhero movies with what used
to unite people in the past. "Its modern folklore," she said,
"and folklore is important. It informs our sense of oneness."
“In
our story, there are so many different women holding their own space,"
Nyong'o said. "Women may be in competition with each other, sure, but that
doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an absence of love or respect. You see the
female Wakanda warriors work together, and you see a dynamic that is really
encouraging. Making this film awakened me.”
The
superhero flick is slated to release in 16th February 2018.
