Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o may have been cheated out of screen time in The Force Awakens, but it looks like she will be making up for it sooner rather than later.
About a year and a half ago, it was announced that Lupita Nyong’o and David Oyelowo had both secured roles in the Disney film The Queen of Katwe, which depicts the story of a young Ugandan chess player, Phiona Mutsei, played by newcomer Madina Nalwanga, who rises from modest circumstances to the heights of international success as she pursues her dreams of being an undefeated champion.
