Unknown to San Diego Comic Convention attendees, actress Lupita Nyong’o was in their midst.
It would’ve been hard to recognize the Academy-award winning actress as she wasn’t in costume for her upcoming movies, “Star Wars” and “Black Panther.”

Instead, she had her Comic-Con cosplaying fun as she dressed in a Pink Ranger bodysuit, along with a white mask, pink shades and a pink bandana.
The Mexican-Kenyan star was less than inconspicuous as she danced, jumped and crawled through exhibits as attendees largely ignored her.
Did you see me at Comic Con?! #SDCC2017

Some hope this is part of the upcoming Lupita-Rihanna movie that Twitter users proposed.
Hoping this is really just a clip from the heist movie with Lupita & Rihanna. They go undercover for as Rangers to obtain information ~
