Logistical challenges await for studios that are working with stars who haven't gotten the shot. Disney's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Letitia Wright — who portrays the lead Shuri, the sister of Black Panther T'Challa (the late Chadwick Boseman) — is not vaccinated, sources say. After sustaining an on-set injury in August, the Guyanese-born British actress went home to London.

Now, a return to the U.S. for a possible shoot in Atlanta, where Wakanda Forever is based, could be an issue. On Nov. 8, the CDC implemented rules that require all non-immigrant, non-citizen air travelers to the U.S. be fully vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination status before boarding a plane. Wright is not a U.S. citizen. Disney declined to comment.

Wright's U.K. rep pointed to a statement issued Nov. 5 to THR regarding the actress' injury, prompting a shutdown of production that will begin the week of Thanksgiving (director Ryan Coogler is said to have filmed everything he can without her). The rep notes: "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. Letitia kindly asks that you keep her in your prayers."

This bitch is so full of SHIT and clearly doesn't give a fuck about her career  :dead: not them filming everything they can without her and waiting for sis to show up in 2022 to finish filming  :uhh:

Letitia is not some Meryl Streep type of legendary gorl to be making all these demands. They need to get rid of her and recast with a gorl willing to film. I know she's struggled with depression and won't take the vaccine due to religious reasons, but if you don't want to film, save everyone's time and tell the production studio you don't want to be a part of the movie. By pausing production, your not just affecting the livelihoods of the cast, but also all the behind the scenes people like writers, hairstylists and makeup artists. Fuck her

For those that don't know or who forget, last December she posted a video about being anti-vaccine and climate change denial and the gorls dragged her. She liked this tweet after the backlash



This girl clearly doesn't care sddffds  :dead: I wouldn't be surprised if this "on-set injury" that happened to sis in August was fake and she wanted to just fly back home to the UK. What type of on-set injury requires 3 months to heal? :omf:

And she has the nerve to ask us to keep her in our prayers  :plzstop: this girl is a kii

Idk, this whole thing feels like a smear campaign to kick sis out of a contract and recast the part.

It all seems pretty strange.

People really out there willing to ruin their careers cause they read something about the vaccine on Facebook. SMH
