Wright revealed that the cast and crew ‘committed every day to working hard, no matter what circumstances’ they faced
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is coming this fall, and in a recent interview star Letitia Wright opened up about the highly anticipated sequel, coming together “as a team” and honoring the late Chadwick Boseman.
It’s been four years since the release of Black Panther, which broke box office records and became one of the biggest superhero films of all time. The film followed the comic book character T’ Challa, King of Wakanda, who was played by Chadwick Boseman.
Boseman tragically passed away in 2020 after privately battling colon cancer. While much was left up in the air about how the franchise would continue, director and writer Ryan Coogler and most of the original cast returned for the sequel, which Wright called an ” honor” in a recent interview with Variety.

Wright, who plays Shuri, said,
It is an incredible honor for Chadwick Boseman. It’s jam-packed with exciting stuff. We honored him by committing ourselves to the story that he started, the legacy that he started with this franchise, and we just committed every day to working hard, no matter what circumstances we faced — and we faced a lot of circumstances, a lot of difficult situations — but we came together as a team, and we poured everything into this movie, so I’m excited for you to see it.
