‘Black Panther 2’ Shuts Down Production as Letitia Wright Recovers from Set Injury (Archive)

Marvel and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures have temporarily paused production on the upcoming sequel “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” due to an injury sustained by star Letitia Wright. Wright sustained the injury back in August while shooting a sequence involving a stunt rig on location in Boston, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Due to the severity of the injury, she is continuing to recover.

Back in August when the injury occurred, Marvel assured the incident would not impact the film’s shooting schedule. IndieWire has reached out to representatives for Disney and Wright for comment.

Wright was hospitalized in August for the injury in Boston (where filming was then taking place), after which she left for London and has remained as production works around her. In the original film and sequel, Wright stars as Shuri, the sister of Black Panther T’Challa. Ryan Coogler is returning to direct the sequel to the original, which won three Academy Awards and grossed $1.3 billion globally. After Chadwick Boseman’s unexpected death in August 2020, Shuri was elevated to a lead character.

“Letitia has been recovering in London since September from injuries sustained on the set of ‘Black Panther 2’ and is looking forward to returning to work early 2022,” a representative for Wright told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. “Letitia kindly asks that you keep her in your prayers.”

Per reports, the shutdown is expected to commence the week of Thanksgiving, with hopes for an early 2022 return to production.

For the last two months, “Wakanda Forever” had been primarily shooting in Atlanta. So far, Coogler has reportedly shot all footage possible without Wright up to this point. (Coogler, back in April, penned an essay about shooting in Georgia amid voting law backlash. He affirmed the film would remain shooting in the state.)

“Black Panther 2” has already seen shuffles on the release calendar. Originally set to open on July 8, 2022, the film was pushed to November 11, 2022 back in October. The 2018 original film, based on the comic characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, opened in a February slot, and a year later earned seven Academy Awards including one for Best Picture. It’s regarded as one of the most acclaimed of any Marvel Cinematic Universe film.

I'm surprised that the author of this article didn't sneak in a reference to Letitia Wright being "anti-vax".

Dune is actually doing suprisingly well for a big-budget arthouse film. I always thought it would just fail in the box office like Blade Runner 2049.

I wonder how BR 2049 didn't do well, but Dune currently is? Any thought, guys?

Coof, probably. More people are gonna give a film like Dune a shot when it has nothing else to really compete with.

2049 had the original Blade Runner as it's primary comparison which, million cuts tism notwithstanding, is an incredibly solid movie. It had massive shoes to fill and came up short. Dune, on the other hand, draws from much more well-known source material and only has the David Lynch shitshow to be compared to. It had a much lower bar to clear and did so in style.

People wanted a Retry on Dune

Nobody fucking asked for BR 2049.

People behind BR 2049 forgot that the first one was a flop when it came out.

There is also the fact that BR is not meant to have a sequel. It is about a Man and a question..a question that SHOULD NEVER BE ANSWERED.

Then they made it a sequel..and did some shitty fucking "SLAVERY" tm message with a plot that seemed cribbed from an anime movie from 30 years ago.

After all this time. Has Toby still not acknowledged Bully Mcguire?

But I would totally go see the movie if Toby's in it because that guy was spider man for me growing up

not as far as i know. though he probably what it is and has no doubt seen videos of it.
i just want someone to ask him about it during a tv interview.
if he's in the movie, no doubt he'll be appear on one. probably with the other two spidey actors.

He had too. You can easily find the meme my simple looking it up since it's well known. If they did a interview with the three spider man actors than that's when they should ask him.
 
Seems Eternals is a flop or at the very least underperforming but it might not be big enough of a failure to sink the MCU just yet.

Now, the big question is what happens if this Spider-Man movie fails?

Disney can't rely on China like they used to, so an actual box office flop will hurt them badly enough, especially if it's MCU. Even a simple underperformance where it makes enough money to technically be profitable but still does below expectations could be damaging now that China's no longer the fallback plan.

With something like Spider-Man, even an underperformance can be a death knell for the MCU now. Spider-Man is one of those few evergreen superheroes that normies always recognized and could enjoy.

Really, when it comes to evergreen capeshit, there's really only three or maybe four superheroes you can pull from. Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman. Maybe Wonder Woman or Wolverine on a good day.

A Spider-Man flick doing badly is the kind of sign that capeshit is deader than Dillinger.
