Black Panther: Wakanda Forever production resumes after Letitia Wright recovers from injury
The actor suffered a critical shoulder fracture which caused production to be temporarily halted
Last year, it was announced that production was temporarily shut down on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever after Letitia Wright—who plays Shuri in the Marvel Studios franchise—suffered injuries on the set of the sequel in August. However, filming is now back on track. Per BBC, a spokesperson for the actor confirmed she has recovered and production on the film is underway.
Though it was initially reported that Wright only sustained minor injuries while filming a scene involving a stunt rig, her injuries turned out to be far more severe than expected. Marvel execs Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, and Nate Moore released a statement in November, saying, “What we had initially thought were minor injuries turned out to be much more serious with Letitia suffering a critical shoulder fracture, and a concussion with severe side effects.”
