British Airways Magazine Really Thinks Lupita Nyong’o Is From Fictional Wakanda

Published on

Wakanda is the fictional African country where Marvel’s “Black Panther” is set, not Lupita’s hometown.

 

Lupita N’yongo isn’t from Wakanda. Wakanda isn’t real.

This may come as a surprise to the editors at British Airways’ High Life magazine who noted the fictional African nation in which Marvel’s “Black Panther” is set as the actress’ home country.

Twitter user @MrFilmkritik shared a photo of the magazine’s global best-dressed feature, which lists several celebs along with their city of residence. Everyone’s information is accurate except for the 34-year-old actress who’s described as “The Marvel: Lupita Nyong’o (Wakanda).”

Nyong’o is indeed co-starring in Marvel’s “Black Panther” film, but a quick Google search shows that the actress was born in Mexico, raised in Kenya and apparently lives in Brooklyn.

Twitter, of course, was quick to call out the in-flight magazine.
