The actress, who played Nakia in Black Panther and its sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, referenced the film series and said, “Application for the Dora Milaje filed,” in response to the female powers protecting Wakanda.
The actress in November op Good morning America shared stories about what it was like on the set of the sequel following the death of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman in 2020.
“When someone like that dies, it affects everyone around them, uh, and so we see how different characters interact in different ways,” she shared before saying it felt “hollow.”
Lupita explained that all the characters in the movie dealt with loss.
Playing the role of a grieving character allowed Lupita to heal the loss she felt without having Boseman on set.

“Nakia is a little more advanced in the grieving stages than I am, so getting through my grief has been therapeutic,” Lupita said.
She added, “I’d say it was hollow… It was very obvious he was missing, and we all felt it, but we also had each other.”
“It was good to do this with a bunch of people who knew him, who had experienced his light and his love, and so we could feel compassion and really lean on each other in doing so,” she said.
