Black Panther Star Letitia Wright Reflects on Set Accident

Director Ryan Coogler noted that he heard about Letitia’s injury over the phone, sharing that the news was particularly hard for him. 

“It was about how you can imagine,” he said. “I mean, I love these actors. That’s me and Chad’s little sister. Imagine getting that call that your little sister’s hurt. It’s the f–king worst thing in the world.”

Acknowledging the added emotion on the Wakanda Forever set following the 2020 passing of Chad’s from colon cancer, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said, “It was horrifying on any production happening to anybody. It was particularly harsh on this production that was already emotionally strained.”
