It has been nearly a year since Chadwick Boseman died, and his
Black Panther co-star, Lupita Nyong’o, says that she’s still coming to terms with the loss. During her virtual appearance on
The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Nyong’o opened up about what she’ll miss about starring opposite the actor when filming for the Marvel sequel commences.
“He led the movie with such compassion and just presence. When Chadwick came on set, he was present, and he brought his entire being to that movie. He was just so humble as well,” she said, reminiscing about their time working on the 2018 film. “That leadership will be missed. And he was my friend, so it’s hard to think of him in the past tense still.”
She also shared a moving quote from the late actor.
“If you see the world unbalanced, be a crusader that pushes heavily on the seesaw of the mind. That’s a quote by Chadwick Boseman,”
Simone said.
This is the fourth posthumous award
Chadwick has won for his final movie performance. He’s already won a Golden Globe, NAACP Award, the Gotham Award and the Critics’ Choice Award.
