During a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Kaluuya revealed he was never asked to attend the Sundance premiere.
“On the Sundance world premiere, I was in Atlanta because I was shooting Black Panther,” he said.
Kaluuya explained that he was in Atlanta shooting scenes for Black Panther when Get Out was set to have its early 2017 debut at Sundance, which is held in Utah.
In the first film, Kaluuya portrayed the chieftain W’Kabi, who was also the best friend of Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa.
