We spoke w/ Lupita Nyong'o about BlackPanther and how filming WakandaForever was cathartic.
On November 11 we return to Wakanda in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Ahead of the theatrical release, actress Lupita Nyong’o, who plays Nakia in the films, sat down with Collier’s Steve Weintraub to talk about her experience returning to set following the passing of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman. In the movies, Nakia is a member of Wakanda’s central intelligence the War Dogs, and T’Challa’s partner.
COLLIDER: I really want to start with a sincere congratulations. I'm sure everyone coming through has said the exact same thing. I have to know, this project means a lot to a lot of people. You guys wanted to honor Chadwick. Did you put almost more pressure on yourself, making this movie, than you have on your previous projects?
Ryan walked me through the story, and I was just so relieved because the story embraces the loss. And our story is that loss serves as a springboard from which we're telling the story. It explores grief in all its complexity and how different people respond to grief in varied ways. Ryan does such a great job with this material. He's so good. I'm curious what he's like on set when he's directing you. When he wants you to adjust something in your performance, is it a few words, or does he pull you aside and it's full sentences?
