Christopher Nolan has yet again added another name to his upcoming mystery movie as Lupita Nyong'o joins the already star-studded cast.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Black Panther actor Nyong'o is the latest A-lister to join Nolan’s new project. The film currently also has Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya on its cast list.

Nyong'o is best known for her variety of stellar roles in films such as Jordan Peele's Us, 12 Years a Slave, and Marvel’s Black Panther franchise. But this year, the star pulled at moviegoers' heartstrings with Universal's emotional animation The Wild Robot, and scared audiences silly in A Quiet Place sequel, A Quiet Place: Day One.

But, of course, rumors have already started to swirl about what the new film could be, with everything from a period vampire thriller to an all-out action thriller on the cards. However, THR claims that "nothing has come close to nailing Nolan’s real idea." But, with Nolan's last movie Oppenheimer dazzling audiences and winning in seven categories at the 96th Academy Awards, we have high hopes for this new project.
