Letitia Wright's Career Journey  

Letitia Wright's journey into acting began with her involvement in school plays. However, it was the impactful viewing of the 2006 film "Akeelah and the Bee" that fueled her aspiration to become a professional actress. 

Inspired by Keke Palmer's performance, Wright noted that the role deeply resonated with her and played a pivotal role in shaping her career path. At the age of 16, she enrolled at the Identity School of Acting.  

In 2011, Letitia made her mark with a recurring role in the series "Top Boy" and appeared in two episodes of "Holby City." Her presence in the 2012 film "My Brother the Devil" earned her recognition as one of Screen International's 2012 Stars of Tomorrow. 

Michael Caton-Jones cast Wright in the leading role of "Urban Hymn" in 2015, garnering attention from Hollywood. Her versatility shone as she took on diverse roles, including appearances in the "Doctor Who" episode "Face the Raven" in 2015 and a recurring role as Renie in "Humans" the following year.

Wright's prominence soared with her portrayal of Shuri in the 2018 film "Black Panther," part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The role not only won her the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Breakthrough Performance but also led to her reprising the character in "Avengers: Infinity War." 

Further expanding her cinematic repertoire, Letitia featured in Steven Spielberg's "Ready Player One" and made a cameo in Drake's music video for "Nice for What."

She returned to the Marvel universe as Shuri in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," marking her first leading role and a poignant tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. 

However, the filming process faced a temporary setback in 2021 due to a motorcycle accident that led to Wright's shoulder fracture and concussion.

Letitia Wright's COVID-19 Vaccine Controversy 

In December 2020, there was trouble when Letitia Wright shared a long video on Twitter. The video questioned if the COVID-19 vaccine was okay and made some controversial statements. YouTube removed the video because it broke their rules.

Later, Wright said she didn't mean to hurt anyone by sharing the video. She explained that her only goal was to talk about her worries about the vaccine and what it has in it. After this, she decided to stop using social media. 

In October 2021, there were reports that Letitia had issues with her U.S. team because of the video. People said she was still talking against vaccines during the filming of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" in Atlanta. Wright came back on social media to say these reports were not true. 

During an interview in November 2022, Angela Bassett, Wright's co-star in Wakanda Forever, said she never heard Wright talking against vaccines on set. The Marvel vice president also said he didn't know if she got the vaccine, but it didn't affect the filming. 

Letitia's publicist and representatives didn't want to talk about her vaccination status during the interview. Later that month, she criticized The Hollywood Reporter for calling her someone with "personal baggage" in an article. 

Wright said the publication and the author had an "agenda" against her, which she found "vile" and "disgusting." She mentioned she already said sorry for her past comments and didn't want to talk about it anymore.
