‘We get to see them be fully human. That’s something that, as Black women, we are often not afforded on-screen. And there are so many female characters. All too often in these movies, there’s a token one or two. Here, you’re seeing a community,’ Lupita Nyong'o says. Ahead of the much-anticipated release of #BlackPanther: Wakanda Forever, Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright and Danai Gurira speak to ELLE UK about honouring their late co-star Chadwick Boseman’s memory, how they hope the film helps people who have lost loved ones and why it’s so important the film industry amplifies diverse voices. The November issue of ELLE UK is on newsstands nationwide October 6.
