Details about Lupita’s character haven’t been revealed, but there’s no doubt the Oscar-winning actress would make a great addition to the cast.
Nyong’o has been on a roll with recent roles in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Jungle Book. She’s also received a Tony nomination for her work in the Broadway show Eclipsed.
Fingers crossed! We’d love to see Lupita join the Marvel Universe.
