Description
A digital film still of Chadwick Boseman, as the character T'Challa, and Lupita Nyong'o, as the character Nakia, on the set of the film Black Panther.
The two actors are pictured together on a curved cement staircase in the center of the image, in front of a blue screen. Boseman, wearing a long black tunic, stands facing Nyong'o and holding both her hands in his. Nyong'o is perched on the edge of the staircase railing, wearing a green woven tunic dress and over the knee boots. A kimoyo bead bracelet is visible on her proper left wrist. Above them, on the left side of the image, is a suspended film camera and extended mic boom with fur covered microphone. A partially visible member of the film crew holds a white reflecting panel beneath the camera.
