Letitia Wright has stated she needs to see a “mash-up” between Black Panther and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.
The actor, whose character Shuri assumed the Black Panther mantle in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever following the demise of T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), shared who she’s most enthusiastic about teaming up with in future Marvel Cinematic Universe outings.
“Oh man, it’s not set in stone or anything like that but I definitely want to work with Tom Holland,” Wright instructed NME. “I think he’s just dope. It would be really cool to see a mash-up between him and Shuri.”
Last 12 months, Sony producer Amy Pascal stated there’s plans for Holland to return as Spider-Man in three future movies – though these tasks are but to be formally introduced.
Wright and Holland each starred in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, however they didn’t share any scenes collectively. The subsequent main Marvel crossover movie, apart from anti-hero team-up Thunderbolts, is anticipated to be Avengers: The Kang Dynasty in May 2025.
The sequel to 2018’s Black Panther was rewritten following the demise of Chadwick Boseman, who died from colon most cancers in August 2020. Marvel selected to not recast his position of T’Challa, together with his sister Shuri changing into the following Black Panther.
Asked how she feels now the movie is launched, Wright stated: “Relieved. Really proud. And [it’s] nice to have a range of work, such as The Silent Twins, Aisha and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, just all be together but so different. I just hope it’s a reflection of hard work really and I just pray to continue.”
Wright stars reverse Tamara Lawrance in biographical drama The Silent Twins which follows the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, who had been institutionalised at Broadmoor Hospital following years of silence and a spree of vandalism.
Speaking to NME in regards to the movie, Wright stated: “This has been a really dope, amazing process to collaborate with someone who has a different style of working and trying to synchronise [with] that, just like the twins did. How can their personalities come together to achieve what they want? That’s been really cool to explore.”
The Silent Twins is in cinemas now.
