Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has spoken about how the role in Black Panther has been changing her life. In an interview with Entertainment Weakly, the actress told an anecdote that explains that.
Letitia Wright and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has had many controversies. After one accident during the shooting, a strong rumor came out where it was told that the actress was anti-vaccines and her attitude on set had delayed the production of the film. Letitia Wright has left these rumors very clear saying that those claims were completely false.
However, we should have in mind that in December 2020 the actress took down some of her social networks after posting a video where she questions vaccines, climate change, and transphobic comments.
The actress got into an accident during the filming of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Although at first thought to be serious, the actress recovered quickly.
"It was an unfortunate situation that set me back a bit, but at the time I got very close to my family and friends"
"There's a young Black woman who's a princess, and she's also a scientist," a 28-year-old actress spoke to the media.
"I have this feeling of pride when a young woman comes up to me and says, "Hey, you made me feel smart in school, and you made me feel like I can be in technology alongside a man, and I feel empowered.' That has changed my life forever."
"I felt like: Oh, my God… What if I can't do the things I'm used to?"
"But by the grace of God, I made it and I came back stronger" Letitia claimed.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, will be available on November 11.
