‘Black Panther’
Nyong’o found herself in the middle of another buzzworthy project when she was tapped to join the Marvel flick Black Panther as Nakia, the love interest of Chadwick Boseman’s titular superhero.

The film proved a box office smash upon its release for the four-day President’s Day weekend in February 2018, raking in more than $200 million domestically and over $360 worldwide. Additionally, the production was notable for shattering stereotypes about the limitations of marketing a largely black cast.

Later that summer, the actress was honored with induction into Hollywood’s Walk of Fame class of 2019.

Nyong’o went on to a co-starring role in the comedy-horror Little Monsters, which premiered at Sundance in early 2019. She followed with a turn to scream-out-loud horror in Jordan Peele’s Us, about a family confronted by a sinister group of doppelgängers.
