Oscar-winner and 2024 Berlinale jury president Lupita Nyong’o (“Black Panther,” “A Quiet Place Day One”) and Chloe Grace Moretz (“The Peripheral,” “Nimona”) will be in "Strawweight", where the former is a former UFC Chamption and the latter is a young woman who finds an interest in the sport.
And they presumably fight each other.
This is the first directoral feature of James M. Johnson....who is a close collaborator with David Lowery, so ooh.

2024: All my faves are going to beat you to death this is literally the THIRD time in 2 months one has been cast in a role like this. I'm so happy Lupita has another live action role, she's on a roll!
