Right away, T’Challa's younger sister who is technologically advanced became a fan favorite amongst many. 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War and last year’s Avengers: Endgame also starred her as well. After losing Boseman tragically, Wright took a more prominent role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), where she assumed the title of Black Panther.
Letitia Wright's admiration for the black panther character runs deep, as her involvement in the Black Panther franchise has been a major highlight of her career. The first movie made history by becoming a global sensation, earning over 1.3 billion USD.
It was praised for its diverse cast and compelling storyline, solidifying its place as one of the most impactful superhero films of all time. The sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, aimed to honor Chadwick Boseman's legacy by further exploring the world of Wakanda and its inhabitants.
There are several upcoming projects within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) where Wright could potentially play Shuri again. On May 2026 Avengers 5 will be released while on May 7th, 2027 they will release Avengers: Secret Wars.
