Sope Aluko, a Christian actress born in Nigeria who holds U.S. and British citizenship, said that the set of "Black Panther" (2018) felt "almost like church."
"During breaks we shared our testimony of how we got to where [we] did and most of the people were testifying to God's miracles, it was almost like church," Aluko told Okay Africa's Ezinne Mgbeahuruike.
Mgbeahuruike had asked her, "How was it working alongside such heavy hitters like Lupita Nyong'o, Michael B. Jordan, and Forest Whitaker?" The actress responded that the "Black Panther" set "felt very familiar and like home."
"We had early call times but I didn't even feel the long set hours because it was such a good time. I didn't feel like I was amongst stars, everyone was so down to earth and normal," Aluko explained. Then came the "church" comment.
It may be encouraging for Christians — often afraid of the secular values of Hollywood — to hear that God's miracles were discussed on the set of a major motion picture set to release this year. But the context of Aluko's remarks should be even more encouraging.

I still wont watch it. It’s UNCHRISTIAN to promote leftist racial crap.
I’ll see the movie when the girls are back home - it’s the one time Dad gets to do something alone with the kids. The comic, sci-fi, and animation stuff is something we all agree on as pretty good...some better then others.
I agree the movie is over-hyped, but I’ve heard through the comics vine that it’s actually fairly well done and one of the better comic movies overall. I’ll reserve judgement till I get to see it.
It’s nice to hear actors/actresses professing their faith publicly and not being ashamed of it or in fear of their careers if they do. Who knows maybe it’ll catch on. With the public pronouncements from the eagles coach and now this it does seem we have a mini-revival starting to take shape. We should do what we can to encourage it.

Pure wishful thinking.
OMG!
Did somebody walk on water?
On camera?
Well, computer graphics is close to miraculous...
It’s as good as Barrack. Hussein. Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm.

Agreed.
