by

As a dedicated follower of Lupita Nyong’o‘s impressive career, I can confidently say that her talent knows no bounds. With over a decade in the industry under her belt, she continues to captivate audiences with her performances, both on-screen and off.

Lupita Nyong’o excels in her acting roles. Over the past decade, she has captivated both audiences and critics with her performances. An aspect worth mentioning about her impressive body of work is that it includes characters like Nakia from Black Panther and Red from Us, but it also showcases her exceptional voice-acting abilities, as seen in The Jungle Book, Star Wars, and most recently, The Wild Robot.

In an interview with TopMob, the actress opened up about her passion for acting. She mentioned that she appreciates the roles she’s been given in voice acting. The actress from A Quiet Place clarified, “I think I just love acting, and I enjoy doing it in any way possible.” Nyong’o expressed that what sets voice acting apart is that it presents certain restrictions, yet it also feels like a creative hurdle she must conquer. Nyong’o added, “I relish pushing myself and growing.

In the forthcoming film The Wild Robot, Lupita Nyong’o lends her voice to the central character, Roz. Stranded on a remote island following a crash, initially emotionless Roz develops relationships with the local wildlife. Discussing her character’s development, Nyong’o explains that “Roz is essentially a robot functioning according to her factory settings at first, so her voice in the beginning is bright and upbeat, but she’s programmed.

As our cherished protagonist evolves throughout her journey, her voice transforms gradually, and the actress notes this mirrors her personal transformation. Lupita shared that she aimed to depict Roz’s development as delicately as possible through her performance.

Notable actors such as Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, Bill Nighty, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, and a host of other skilled performers make up the impressive ensemble cast of The Wild Robot. Beginning its theater run on October 18th in India, audiences will have the chance to see Lupita Nyong’o in action.
