The Ryan Coogler project grossed more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office and became the highest-grossing film with a predominantly Black cast of all time. The “Screen Talk” event, which Nyong’o primarily attended to promote her latest film The Wild Robot came only two months after she shared a heartbreaking Instagram dedication to Boseman that began with an unattributed quote about the process of grief.
