“Chadwick, what are you doing?” Nyong’o asked in the IG video, showing Boseman with a Sharpie in hand.
“I’m signing tickets. I signed somebody’s shoes over there …” he said. The late actor joked that he signed “a pair of Jordans”, even though he didn’t play basketball.
In the video, a crowd of fans surrounded Boseman at a movie theater, and Nyong’o asked behind the camera, “why do you think they asked you?”
“I don’t know!” Boseman replied. “I have no idea.”
The caption of Nyong’o’s post says “Kept it real, kept it kind”," in a tribute to her costar.
Winston Duke, who also stars in theBlack Pantherfilms, commented: “Incredibly generous man…always sharing abad helping and giving and loving… ugh… my heart … Ure missed beyond any words my brother… love love! Thanks, Lupita for posting our treasure… man oh man!! ❤️❤️❤️”
Letitia Wright, who played the sister of Boseman’s character in the Marvel films, also commented with three heart emojis.
The new installment in theBlack Pantherstory titledWakanda Foreverwill be released in November. Without Boseman, Nyong’o said, it was a challenge. Speaking withThe Hollywood Reporterat San DiegoComic-Conin July, the actress opened up about filming the highly anticipated sequel to 2018’sBlack Pantherafter the loss of Boseman.
Despite it being “a doozy of a few years for everybody,” Nyong’o toldTHRthat she was proud that they were able to make the film, calling the act, “apowerful statementunto itself.”
“It was very therapeutic,” she said. “It restored a sense of hope for me in making it, and I think we’ve expanded the world of Wakanda in ways that will blow people’s minds —not just Wakanda, but theBlack Pantherworld. It’s going to blow people’s minds, and I just cannot wait until it’s not a secret anymore.”
