According to reports, Wright’s injury will not impact the film’s shooting schedule. The Black Panther sequel is scheduled to be released on July 8, 2022.

In the first movie, she played Shuri, the tech-savvy sister of King T'Challa, played by the late Chadwick Boseman.

Boseman recasting

Following the death of Boseman in August 2020 after a private battle with cancer, speculation was rife that he would be recast in the sequel.

However, when asked if Boseman would like to be recast, fellow actor Anthony Mackie said no. According to Mackie, no one could play the role of T'Challa like Boseman did.

Mackie said:

“No, you can't recast it. He did that role in a way it'll never be done again. I would hate for an actor to have to pick up the baton that he left behind because there's no question he was an amazing actor.
