Darling actress Lupita Nyong’o may be known for nailing the roles she plays in drama-based films, but after her low-key appearance at Comic Con recently, comedy may need to be the next direction she goes in. 
 
Posting a video to her Twitter account, Nyong’o took advantage of the popular convention by blending in so well that no one even noticed her. Dressed in a pink Power Ranger costume, white mask, pink shades, and a pink bandana, the actress danced her way through the crowd while most bystanders passed by without question.

Taking a moment to pose with superheroes and cartoon characters, the adorable actress seemed to have the time of her life without anyone else having a clue that she was in the building. Pointing out a few scary masks and Star Wars figurines along the way, Nyong’o’s short video of her time at Comic Con is another reminder that even with the chaos that surrounds us daily, it’s OK to make time to enjoy ourselves.
 
So, if you’ve always thought Comic Con to just be for those who openly show their love for comics, you may want to reconsider showing up next year. You never know who you might run into.

Nyong’o is set to star in the upcoming Black Panther film, in addition to Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: Episode IX. The 34-year-old will also be working in Ava DuVernay’s heist movie alongside Rihanna for Netflix.
