Letitia Wright Reveals More Details Of Her 'Wakanda Forever' On Set Injury: 'I'm Still in Therapy'

Letitia Wright is opening up and revealing new details about the injury she suffered on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever set while filming in 2020.

The 29-year-old actress’s injury caused the film to shut down production for a brief period of time while she continued to recover from the accident.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was originally slated to be released on July 8, 2022, but was later moved to this weekend, November 11, because of the delay.

In a new interview, Letitia got candid about the injury and revealed she’s still recovering from it.

If you’re not aware, Letitia went to the hospital after falling off of a “biscuit rig” riding a motorcycle during a Boston shoot.

Producer Nate Moore recalled in the cast’s Variety cover story that the rig “clipped a median and sheared the bike off, and it tumbled.”

Letitia suffered a concussion and fractured shoulder.

“I’m still processing it,” Letitia shared. “I’m still working through it in therapy. It was really traumatic.”

Director Ryan Coogler, who was in Atlanta at the time the incident occurred, said that it was “about how you can imagine. I mean, I love these actors. That’s me and Chad [Boseman]’s little sister. Imagine getting that call that your little sister’s hurt. It’s the fucking worst thing in the world.”

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige then added, “It was horrifying on any production happening to anybody. It was particularly harsh on this production that was already emotionally strained.”

Letitia had wanted to jump right back into filming the movie after the accident, but was urged to take time and properly recover. So, she went back to London to do just that and the movie did continue filming, just scenes that did not involve her character Shuri.

There was a rumor that Letitia was barred from the U.S. and from the set over her vaccine status during production.

Nate says that no one actually asked: “She never talked about her views either way. We read the stories that I would argue were unfair, because I don’t know where they’re coming from. As someone who literally is on set next to the monitor all the time, I feel like I would have heard it.”

“She only ever was the utmost professional and a joy to have around. She didn’t cost us a moment. I mean, her injury was the thing that cost us, and that was no fault of her own.”

Letitia eventually returned in January this year to finish the movie, and was met with a “great, great, great medical support” team to help her deal with post-concussion syndrome.

“I’m just extremely proud of myself,” she adds. “I’m extremely proud of Ryan [Coogler], of the team, for just the resilience — overcoming adversities every step of the way. When I finished filming, I cried like a little baby.”
