Letitia Wright, Black Panther star suggested at an event recently that her character, Shuri, may take over as Wakanda’s future leader.
In an answer to a question on whether she was prepared to step up as ruler after Thanos’s actions in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ put up by the audience at a comic-con show in London, Letitia reportedly said, “To be comic-book accurate, yes.”
The actress who played Shuri in the movie said that there might be a possibility of her stepping up as the ruler of Wakanda in the future.
At the end of the Infinity War movie, Letitia’s character Shuri’s fate was left unclear.
In the comic books Shuri has genius-level intellect, martial arts skills, and transmorphic ability and all this is tested and approved for the role of Black Panther and ruler of Wakanda.
The actress also spoke about the online chatter that she is now technically a
Disney Princess. She was quoted saying, “I was like, ‘what’s this Disney Princess pressure? Do I have to be perfect?’ Then I realized that everyone’s just so geeked about having a different kind of female character in the Marvel universe and the Disney universe. And there’s going to be much, much more – I’m not the only Disney Princess to come to the surface and claim that title. I’m so honored, seriously. I grew up on the Disney movies and grew up with the Disney Princesses and they didn’t really look like me. But now, you can go buy action figures and say ‘this is a Disney Princess’ – right on!”
