Lupita Nyong’o explains why filming ‘A Quiet Place’ was ‘therapeutic’

Lupita Nyong’o said that playing a woman with cancer in “A Quiet Place: Day One” helped her deal better with the Chadwick Boseman’s death with whom he starred in “Black Panther”.

“It was scary to go through, psychologically and emotionally,” she said in an interview with People magazine about playing the character Sam, who has to deal with cancer amid the alien invasion depicted in the film.

“[A personagem] is really facing his own mortality, even before this apocalypse happens, and his life is slipping through his fingers,” he added.

“It was actually very therapeutic in the end because I had just experienced, a few years ago, the death of Chadwick Boseman, which really hit me hard,” Nyong’o said. “I was definitely thinking about that a lot.”

Boseman died in 2020 at the age of 43 from colon cancer, which he had kept secret. He and Nyong’o were in the cast of 2018’s “Black Panther,” and the actor’s death occurred before the sequel’s release.

“What I’ve realized is that it’s really important to remember our own mortality, because then we can live life a little more intentionally,” she said. “When we think we have all the time in the world, we end up taking people and experiences for granted.”
