All-female Avengers Film Will Happen Soon, Confirms Black Panther Star Letitia Wright

Actress Letitia Wright says an all-female Avengers film will be a reality soon. The 26-year-old star played Shuri in “Black Panther”, besides in two “Avengers”. Asked about the possibility of a female team-up, Wright said: “I don’t think we have to fight for it. (Producer) Victoria Alonso is very strong about spearheading it, alongside (Marvel chief) Kevin (Feige). It’s only a matter of time before they do it.”

Wright also opened up about how special it was to feature in the “Black Panther” cast. “It was always a dream of mine to play someone that can be impactful not only for black women but also just for women around the world and young people, too. To be able to have a combination of people and audience members who are so thrilled and appreciative of Shuri is a good feeling. I feel like I contributed something positive in the world,” she said in an interview to Yahoo! Entertainment, according to a contactmusic.com report.
