Lupita Nyong’o Reflects on Chadwick Boseman’s Death While Working on A Quiet Place: Day One

Lupita Nyong’o has opened up about the profound impact that the death of her close friend and Black Panther co-star, Chadwick Boseman, had on her while working on the film A Quiet Place: Day One. Boseman’s private battle with cancer and his passing at the age of 43 left Nyong’o deeply shaken, with the actress admitting, “It shook me to my core.”

Reflecting on this experience, Nyong’o shared that she found her work on the film to be therapeutic, stating, “I definitely was thinking about that a lot. What I came to realize is that it’s really important to be reminded of our mortality because then we live life just a little more intentionally.” She emphasized the importance of not taking people and experiences for granted.

Despite the emotional weight of Boseman’s passing, A Quiet Place: Day One has been performing well at the box office. The film finished in second place after its opening weekend, surpassing the openings of its predecessors with a $53 million start. With a budget of $67 million, Day One is the most expensive installment in the franchise, but it is on track to perform strongly.

A Quiet Place: Day One is currently in theaters and will be available to stream on Paramount+ in the coming months. As Nyong’o continues to honor Boseman’s memory, audiences are encouraged to check out the film and experience the powerful performances that have captivated viewers.
