Part 1 / The birth of MC Baby Underbite. @LetitiaWright featuring @Winston_Duke, @ImAngelaBassett & @DanaiGurira. Name inspired by this dope costume by @IAmRuthECarter. #BlackPanther #BTS pic.twitter.com/XsbdE1flKq — Lupita Nyong’o (@Lupita_Nyongo) February 23, 2018 If you need to up your happiness quotient as you head into your weekend, check out the above video Black Panther‘s Lupita Nyong’o posted of her effervescent (and seriously wordsmithy) co-star, Letitia Wright. It clearly wasn’t all serious biddness on the Black Panther set, as it looks like the cast was having a bunch of fun behind the scenes, too! In the above video, we see Wright along with Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, and Winston Duke dropping a beat as Wright takes a moment to freestyle for the people (probably for Nyong’o, who I assume is filming this). My favorite bit? Where she talks about the royal family needing more family members, then shouts-out her future sister-in-law, … [Read more...] about Go Into Your Weekend With the Pure Flow of MC Baby Underbite, A.K.A.

Black Panther has many great characters in it, but Shuri is among one of the most-discussed as of late. Breakout star Letitia Wright talks about comparisons to her character and Q of the James Bond franchise, how her character fits into Avengers: Infinity War, and what she thinks of Black Panther bringing so many people together. The LA Times scored an interview with Wright recently. One of the first things that were on the minds of the writers of the Los Angeles newspaper was about the dynamic to Shuri and T’Challa, which Wright compared to another popular film franchise: “It’s a lot of love and loyalty between them and they have each other’s backs. He’s got her and she’s got him. They’re royalty, but there’s still something about them which the world can relate to. They make a good team.

Marvel’s Black Panther may be the story of T’Challa, but it’s also filled to the brim with an unforgettable cast of supporting characters.

Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri in Marvel’s Black Panther, recently chatted with The Hollywood Reporter about the importance of her role as one of the smartest scientists in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, her working relationship with Chadwick Boseman, and about the “love and light” that she hopes to spread with the role. Appropriately, the question of representation came up pretty immediately.

This moment right now is years of prayer that’s coming together to play such a character that … hopefully a lot of people can be inspired by. So for me it’s a dream come true really.
