Somewhere between filming Black Panther, the best Marvel movie made yet, and doing press for its killer opening weekend, Michael B. Jordan and Lupita Nyong'o made a bet. We don't know what the bet was, but we do know Jordan lost it. Now, Nyong'o has the power to make him drop and give her a push-up, wherever she wants, whenever she wants.

She's wielding her power wisely. Here's Jordan going for one at a SiriusXM Town Hall last week.

Here's a second round, at the Calvin Klein show at New York Fashion Week.

And again, backstage at The View, where Jordan laughs, "I'm a sport, I'm a sport," even after Nyong'o commands him to "stay down."

@michaelbjordan, losing with a smile. On call push-ups!!!

Maybe Jordan bet her Black Panther wouldn't break box office records - it is. Maybe he bet her Michelle Obama wouldn't tweet her praise for the movie and its importance to young black people - she did. Whatever it was, Nyong'o has two more rounds of spontaneous push-ups to dish out. Hopefully, they'll be as proud and public as possible.
