While director Ryan Coogler is keeping schtum about his upcoming Marvel film Black Panther, Lupita Nyong'o is not.

The Star Wars: The Force Awakens actress revealed the first spoilers from the project during a Comic-Con red carpet press appearance.

"The story of this Black Panther is - what am I allowed to say? - that the Black Panther's leadership is really threatened by two foes who come together, and so Black Panther gets the help of the CIA and the Dora Milaje to try and defeat the enemy," Lupita teased.
