Black Panther's Lupita Nyong’o has recreated costar Chadwick Boseman's much-discussed shirtless Rolling Stone cover with a stunning Instagram post of her own.

The Academy Award-winning actress, who plays Nakia in the Marvel movie, shared the image as a dual tribute to Boseman's performance as T'Challa and Black Panther's amazing box office success.

“We celebrate BREAKING BOX OFFICE RECORDS with @blackpanther for many reasons, but chief among them is because we had you as our king. Enkosi Kumkani!! And congratulations on your @rollingstone cover. From someone who loves you.”

Imitation is the best form of flattery: @chadwickboseman I admire your quiet, confident, regal nature. You brought the wealth of all your knowledge, wisdom and physicality to T'Challa. You led us into the land of Wakanda without ego, without pretense, without fear. We reap the benefits now squarely because of your courage, your fierce dedication, your intense passion, and your grueling workout regimen. And I will never get enough of the way you say the word "because." We celebrate BREAKING BOX OFFICE RECORDS with @blackpanther for many reasons, but chief among them is because we had you as our king. Enkosi Kumkani!! And congratulations on your @rollingstone cover. From someone who loves you. #CoverCosplay My 📷 by @vernonfrancois Chadwick's by Norman Jean Roy #BlackPanther #WakandaForever

The Ryan Coogler-helmed film continues to shred records.

As of yesterday, T'Challa's first solo adventure had taken the crown for the largest ever President’s Day weekend, the highest three-day debut ever for a February release, and the best four-day opening for any superhero film in history.

Tell us, have you been to see Black Panther yet? If so, what did you think? Sound off in the usual place.

@JohnnyTBP - Impossible now, but I can dream...

@JohnnyTBP - i loved how they tricked us in the trailer with what they meant....which made the scene genuinely funny the way it played out (when he froze).

Meanwhile, in NOT FANTASY Africa:

Maybe since the movie is doing so well financially, some help to Africa would be great? We're all really happy about watching something that is light years away from African reality, with "My king" and "This is our time" but really, people are dirt poor and AIDS is an epidemic that is showing no signs of ending...

Let's keep focused on reality people, fantasy is great, but not when it's used to hide reality.
