Marvel’s Black Panther Cast Performs The Get Out Challenge

When news was announced that Daniel Kaluuya was cast in the upcoming Marvel blockbuster Black Panther, few ever heard of the actor, let alone would forecast his starring role in a breakout hit. Featuring in comedian Jordan Peele's directorial debut for the horror Get Out, Kaluuya's star would rise on set to the point where the movie spawned a cultural phenomenon in the form of the Get Out Challenge.

Playing the part of W'Kabi alongside the likes of Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, Michael B. Jordan, Forest Whitaker, Andy Serkis, Martin Freeman and Sterling K. Brown among many others, it would be Lupita Nyong'o who brought the crew together to take part. Unlike every other Get Out Challenge circulating on the Internet, this one had the honor of casting the actual lead in the film!

Get Out Fails Befall Some Unfortunate Panthers

For every Get Out Challenge that is perfectly executed as a runner diverts from the camera at the last second, sometimes the performance manages to backfire. One of those would be The Walking Dead star Danai Gurira who pulled off one of the more unconvincing roles in her career to date.

Either Gurira was having an off day from all the shoots in the sun, or as Nyong'o intimated, perhaps she has no idea about the craze or the movie itself.

"When one of you hasn't seen the movie!" posted Nyong'o. "#comicrelief #zerosenseofdirection #rebelwithoutacause."
