Description
A digital film still of Florence Kasumba, as the character Ayo, Danai Gurira as the character Okoye, and Michael B. Jordan, as the character Erik Killmonger, on the set of the film Black Panther.
The three are pictured in profile outside on a concrete platform, filming a scene in front of a crane-suspended camera. Kasumba and Gurira are on the left side of the image, facing towards Jordan. Kasumba is standing slightly behind Gurira. Both wear Dora Milaje costumes of red with brown leather bands, shoulder armor, and a necklace and arm bands of stacked rings in the style of the Ndebele tribe's idzila. Kasumba's rings are silver and Gurira's gold. Both carry long spears. Jordan is on the right side of the image, holding a short spear in his proper left hand and a machete in his proper right hand, with both out towards Kasumba and Gurira. He wears a long black jacket, dark grey pants, and black boots. A kimoyo bead bracelet is on his proper left wrist. Behind the actors, on the left side of the image is a crane-suspended film camera, with a camera operator reaching up to hold it on both sides. In the center, a boom operator holds a fur covered microphone on a long boom pole. In the background, tents, crew members and other actors are visible under a blue sky with a tree line in the distance.
