Lupita Nyong’o Says ‘A Quiet Place’ Cancer Storyline After Chadwick Boseman Loss Was “Therapeutic”: “I Definitely Was Thinking About That A Lot”


While filming A Quiet Place: Day One, Lupita Nyong'o says that Chadwick Boseman was on her mind.

In the thriller, the Oscar winner plays a poet with terminal cancer fighting for her life against a backdrop of an alien invasion. “That was daunting to have to go there, psychologically and emotionally,” Nyong’o told People about playing a character who “is really facing their mortality, even before this apocalypse takes place, and whose life is slipping between her fingers.” But the love generated from the life he lived will fuel every anniversary marking his absence,” Nyong’o added.
