In Summary

Actress Letitia Wright says that reports that she's spreading anti-vaccine information on the set of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is false.

Letitia Wright pushed back against reports that she shared anti-vaccination views on the set of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

“The report spoke about my conduct on the set of Black Panther 2. I honestly assert that this was completely untrue,” she said, according to HuffPost.

A source had previously told the trade publication that Wright, who plays Princess Shuri in the film, was skeptical about the COVID-19 vaccine.

In December, Wright was scrutinized for sharing a video of a YouTuber who doubted how efficient a COVID vaccine would be and shared transphobic ideas, Gizmodo reported.

At the time, Wright tweeted, “If you don’t conform to popular opinions but ask questions and think for yourself….you get cancelled.” She deleted her post sharing the video and deleted a tweet where she said that it wasn’t her “intention” to “hurt anyone.”
