Lupita Nyong'o is game for a spin-off on her "Black Panther" role of warrior Nakia and said she would love to play the character in a new stand-alone Marvel film.

The 35-year-old actor said she had a great time portraying her "lone wolf" alter ego and finds it admirable.

"I liked the fact she's this independent woman and a lone wolf with a real sense of loyalty to the country.

"I love that she's stealthy and goes under the radar and has all these skills. I love how well she fights how intelligent she is and I love the effect she has on the king," Nyong'o told Britain's OK! magazine.

The actor said she loved doing her own stunts in the Ryan Coogler-directed movie that made her feel that she was invincible.

"That was one of my reasons for wanting to be in a movie like that - it's a physical, emotional, spiritual and philosophical workout. It was so much fun.

"I was able to do things I never thought I'd be able to do and then at the end of one session, I'd be doing it and then I'd be like, 'I can do anything right now'."
