BLACK PANTHER Actress Letitia Wright: ‘I Continue to Hold on to God’s Hands’

BLACK PANTHER actress Letitia Wright used God’s Word to respond to a report that she espoused anti-vaccine sentiments on the set of the movie’s sequel, which she firmly denies.

“God bless you all,” Wright began the post with a picture of Isaiah 54:17. “It saddens me to have to address the reports published by The Hollywood Reporter on October 6th 2021. The report spoke about my conduct on the set of black Panther 2. I honestly assert that this was completely untrue.”

Isaiah 54:17 says in part, “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.”

Wright continued, “Anyone who knows me or has worked with me, knows that I work incredibly hard at my craft & my main focus is always to do work that’s impactful and inspiring. That has been & will continue to be my only focus.

“I will continue to hold onto Gods hands, and onto the scripture of Isaiah 54:17. I continue to focus on my healing. Thank you for your prayers. And I continue to pray for Gods love, peace & joy for you all. God bless you,” Wright concluded.

Wright was injured on the WAKANDA FOREVER set at the end of August.

As Movieguide® previously reported:

“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,” a spokesperson for Marvel said Wednesday.

As of Thursday, she was released from the hospital.

Deadline reports that the incident occurred in Boston, though the movie is primarily shooting in Atlanta. Sources told Deadline that the incident was minor and will not impact the shooting schedule.
