Lupita Nyong'o, who will play the character of Nakia in Marvel's upcoming "Black Panther," shares a sneak peak of the film during the San Diego Comic-Con. Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther himself, also shared how he felt about playing the exciting role as he faces off with two major villains - Erik Killmonger and Ulysses Klaw.
Nyong'o's character is a member of the elite Dora Milaje, the Panther's bodyguards from the tribe of Wakanda. The actress teased that her character could develop a complicated relationship with the Panther.
Nyong'o also shared during an interview with the Collider that in the "Black Panther," the Panther will seek the help of the C.I.A and the Dora Milaje after he finds that his leadership is threatened by two of his foes that has come together.
Michael B. Jordan will be playing the Panther's nemesis, Erik Killmonger. Although Andy Serkis played Ulysses Klaw in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," it has not been confirmed if he will still be reprising the role.
Meanwhile, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Boseman said that he was excited to play the role of the Panther and has prepared by doing a lot of physical training. He also shared that he was already prepared to face criticism from his fans, especially for deviating some of the film's elements from the comic book. One obvious change is with the Panther's suit.
Director Ryan Coogler did not reveal too much about the film's plot since he is currently in the process of writing the script. The "Black Panther" is slated to hit theaters on February 16, 2018.
