Marvel, which is owned by Disney, must comply with Disney’s vaccine mandate, which was set in July 2021. Letitia, however, has been outspoken about not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. So, is she leaving the MCU?Source: MarvelArticle continues below advertisement

In the first film, Letitia Wright plays T’Challa’s sister and Wakandan royalty/genius, Shuri.Source: MarvelArticle continues below advertisement
Shuri saves the day throughout Black Panther and later Avengers films, so we definitely don’t want to see the character leave the franchise. Not only that, but because of Chadwick’s absence from future films, many expected Letitia to play an even larger role moving forward. It s been all but confirmed that Letitia Wright will be leaving the MCU
Disney’s vaccine mandate didn’t apply to the already-underway Black Panther 2 when it was announced in 2021, when production had to halt filming.

However, protocols may have since changed as far as the new restrictions on set. In an unfortunate accident, a serious injury befell Letitia on the set of Black Panther 2 in August, and she still has yet to return to set.Article continues below advertisement
In late 2020, Letitia shared a video on social media of someone criticizing the vaccine, in which they said that people would have to hope it doesn’t “make extra limbs grow.” After lots of criticism from fans, Letitia clarified that she’s not against vaccines but thinks it’s “important to ask questions,” and has since taken the video down.

If Letitia Wright is actually refusing to get vaccinated and have a safe set, *while* playing a hero *and* honouring the legacy of a man who passed from an illness that often leaves you immuno-compromised while fighting it, then sack her.Recast.

2021, she came forward to assert that those reports were “completely untrue.” Despite this, sources close to the MCU have confirmed that Letitia doesn’t want to return to the MCU because she doesn’t want to get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to media outlet Giant Freakin Robot. It may not be possible for Letitia to continue filming Black Panther 2 if she remains unvaccinated
Even if she wanted to return, or if Disney made an exception for Letitia because filming began before their vaccine mandate went into effect, it might not be possible for Letitia to continue as Shuri. After her accident on set, which reportedly involved some stunt equipment, Letitia went back to the United Kingdom to recover.Article continues below advertisement
What makes this anti-vaxxer nonsense w/ Letitia Wright even worse is that had Chadwick survived & done BP 2, he would've been severely immuno-compromised, and Letitia's dumbass would've purposely put him at risk.— Colethewolf (@Colethewolf) December 9, 2021 Source: Twitter
Although Black Panther 2 is set to return to filming in 2022, because of travel restrictions to the United States from the United Kingdom, Letitia may not be able to take part in the rest of the movie.

Rockmond Dunbar from 9-1-1, Steve Burton and Ingo Rademacher from General Hospital, and even Ice Cube have left and turned down projects due to vaccine restrictions. Letitia may be the first actor in the MCU to make this call, and hopefully she’s the last.AdvertisementMore from Distractify
