Letitia Wright doesn't want to think about Black Panther 2 without Chadwick Boseman
Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman tragically passed away just under two months ago from cancer at the age of 43, and it's still tough for co-star Letitia Wright to process.
The actress, who was Boseman's younger sister on-screen and had a sibling-like relationship off-screen, has spoken about how she misses him in an interview with Net-a-Porter.
When asked about a sequel to the groundbreaking blockbuster or a return for her character Shuri, Wright stated: "We're just still mourning Chad, so it's not something I even want to think about.

"The thought of doing it without him is kinda strange. We're just grieving at the moment, so it's trying to find the light in the midst of it."
The interview also touched upon her trying to find a balance between work and her personal life, starting up a production company to tell Black and diverse stories, and how she has turned down multiple big-money projects in order to keep her integrity.
Wright recently wrapped up filming on a second series of I Am, the anthology show that focuses on a different leading actress in each episode.
Meanwhile, Netflix is preparing to release Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, starring Chadwick Boseman in his final film role, in December.
It was previously due to be screened in August but that was understandably delayed due to Boseman's death.
