Lupita Nyong'o has dropped a few details about the plot of "Black Panther". While director Ryan Coogler has been keeping the plot details under wraps, the actress hinted at the movie's plot during Marvel's own live broadcast from the San Diego Comic-Con last weekend.
The 33-year-old actress said, "The story of this 'Black Panther' is - what am I allowed to say? The story is that the Black Panther's leadership is really threatened by two foes who come together, and so Black Panther gets the help of the C.I.A. and the Dora Milaje to try and defeat the enemy. Oh dear. Someone is going to fire me shortly. I have to shut up now."
It seems that by getting the help from the C.I.A., T'Challa a.k.a. Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) will get into contact with Martin Freeman's Everett Ross, T'Challa's ally in "Captain America: Civil War". It's also possible that the two will reteam up to defeat the bad guys.
Michael B. Jordan has joined the cast members as one of the foes. The "Fantastic Four" actor will portray Erik Killmonger. The other villain is still a mystery. Rumor has it, the other villain could be Ulysses Klaw (Andy Serkis), who smuggled some Wakandan vibranium in "Avengers: Age of Ultron".
As for Nyong'o, she will portray Nakia, a member of Panther's elite female bodyguards known as Dora Milaje, in Marvel's upcoming solo movie. She will be joined by "The Walking Dead" actress Danai Gurira who will play Okoye, the leader of Dora Milaje.
"Black Panther" will begin production in early 2017 for a February 16, 2018 U.S. release.
