Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Star Letitia Wright who plays Shuri, the princess of the ancestral land of the Wakandans, was rushed to a hospital in Boston following a minor injury that she suffered during the production of the sequel after a stunt that had gone wrong, and thankfully, she could be back on her feet in no time as it would not halt the schedule of the filming of the movie.
Wright sustained unspecified injuries on set while doing a stunt rig for the upcoming sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. She was rushed for first aid and for checking up on the seriousness and extent of what happened. She is expected to be released soon as well.
According to a spokesperson of Marvel who broke the news in a statement, "Letitia Wright sustained minor injuries today while filming a stunt for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. She is currently receiving care in a local hospital and is expected to be released soon."
In the previous shoot done for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Letitia was spotted with co-star Dominique Thorne, who is expected to be Ironheart in his upcoming own series, while they were shooting some scenes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
