The photo posted by the fan was taken at a Miu Miu fashion show in 2014 and shows Rihanna sitting together with Lupita.
The movie will be directed by Ava DuVernay and written by Issa Rae.
“Like, ‘Black Panther’ is being embraced because people are really hungry for this kind of film, and that movie with me and Rihanna and Issa and Ava is another one of those examples where people want to see something like themselves, and something different something they’re not being offered yet, and I’m honoured to be a part of that conversation,” Lupita said as reported by Capital FM.
Lupita shared that someone decided to speak out about the type of movies they would want to see and that the tweet is a great example of how influential they can be.
