Black Panther sequel shoot on halt for a month after Letitia Wright gets injured

The sequel to Disney’s Black Panther movie is shutting down production for at least a month to allow star Letitia Wright to recover from an injury, Hollywood publications reported on Friday.

Wright, who played Shuri in the predominantly Black superhero movie, suffered an injury in August during a stunt and needs more time to heal, the Hollywood Reporter and Variety said. The nature of her injury has not been revealed but was initially described as minor.

A spokesman for Disney (DIS.N) said production on Black Panther: Wakanda will pause the week of Nov. 22 and is expected to resume in early 2022.

The halt in production is not expected to affect the release of the movie, which is scheduled for November 2022.
