Letitia Wright discusses the process she went through to grieve in BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER

Black Panther it was one of the great Marvel movies that introduced fans to a new superhero, a new story, and a new world. The technologically advanced civilization of Wakanda opened up fans to fantastic new possibilities and an impressive ensemble that fans were excited to see in further stories. They returned for the fight against Thanos in endless war And End of the gamebut unfortunately, our Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman he died a couple of years ago before he could return to reprise his role in another feature film.

The rest of the cast was devastated, of course, as were the fans, but one of the stars of the franchise, Letizia Wrightwho plays Black Panther’s younger sister Shuri is opening up about how to make the upcoming film Black Panther the sequel served as a cathartic experience for both her and her character.

In a recent interview with Empire Online, Wright explained:

“Shuri’s journey has allowed me to suffer, cry, laugh and gain strength that I never thought I could have. Trials and tribulations make you who you are. Either you bend over or you get up and go again. I feel like Shuri keeps looking at me every day, wondering if I should fold or go again. And I kept going until the healing started happening for me.

Asked if Shuri might be the only one to take Black Panther’s name and throne, Wright said:

“This is a difficult question to answer. I talked to Ryan and Chad about it while we were shooting Black Panther, and we touched on it briefly. When I realized I was playing Shuri, it was something I was really looking forward to.

This is a nice little step backwards, as obviously it can’t ruin what happens in the movie! But we don’t have to wait long at this point. Black Panther: Wakanda forever will be released in theaters on November 11th.
