And while director Ryan Coogler has been keeping the plot under wraps - he is still working on the script - the Oscar winner has dropped little hints about the movie.
Speaking to Marvel.com, the actress said: "The story of this Black Panther is- what am I allowed to say?
"The story is that the Black Panther's leadership is really threatened by two foes who come together, and so Black Panther gets the help of the C.I.A. and the Dora Milaje to try and defeat the enemy."
At Comic-Con it was also revealed that Michael B. Jordan will play villain Erik Killmonger as he works with Coogler for the first time - they have already collaborated on Fruitvale Station and Creed.
Danai Gurira is also on board as Okoye, a friend of Nakia.
Black Panther will be the third feature film of Coogler's career and his biggest movie project so far.
Chadwick Boseman, who was introduced as Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War earlier this year, will be back in the title role.
As for Lupita Nyong'o, she will be back on the big screen later this year in Queen of Katwe. She has also been working on Star Wars: Episode VIII, where she will reprise the role of Maz Kanata.
