    'Black Panther' Star Says Marvel All-Female Superhero Film Is 'Only a Matter of Time'

    Instagram

    Letitia Wright claims Marvel bosses don’t need any convincing to do an all-female superhero blockbuster movie as they have secretly begun to develop the project.

    Nov 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Black Panther” star Letitia Wright is convinced Marvel bosses are secretly plotting an all-female “Avengers” blockbuster.
    The actress, who appeared as Shuri in a string of Marvel movies, including “Black Panther”, “Avengers: Infinity War”, and “Avengers: Endgame”, has already seen the wheels rolling on the potential project, and insists a big girl power announcement is imminent.
    “I don’t think we have to fight for it,” Letitia tells Yahoo Entertainment.
    The star moved on to explain that company COO Kevin Feige and Marvel Cinematic Universe producer Victoria Alonso have already made it clear that they want to see the movie.
    “She (Alonso) is very strong about spearheading it, alongside Kevin (Feige),” Letitia says. “It’s only a matter of time before they do it.”

    Letitia is already envisioning a dream line-up for the all-women “Avengers” spin-off that includes her “Black Panther” co-stars, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o, and Angela Basset, as well as characters from other realms of the Marvel universe, including Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie and Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel.
    “Definitely have to have Captain Marvel,” Wright smiles.
    However, the future of the Black Panther franchise hangs in the balance following the death of the film’s star, Chadwick Boseman.
    Letitia recently confessed she can’t imagine another film without the actor.
    “We’re just still mourning Chad, so it’s not something I even want to think about,” she told Porter magazine. “The thought of doing it without him is kinda strange.”

    Report: Chadwick Boseman Could Be Replaced as Black Panther Due to Pay Dispute

    Marvel Studios

    Words are the ‘Marshall’ star wasn’t happy with Marvel and wants a pay raise, but the studio is eager to replace Black Panther with another character as its primary black hero.
    Apr 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Chadwick Boseman’s tenure as Black Panther could be a short one. The actor, who made his debut as the Wakanda superhero in “Captain America: Civil War”, is reportedly on the verge of losing his role due to pay dispute.
    According to We Got This Covered, a report from 4chan stated that the actor was not happy with Marvel and wants a pay raise. But the studio won’t budge and instead has already had a back-up plan to put another Marvel character as the primary black hero in the MCU.
    The studio reportedly wants “Namor to replace Black Panther as their premiere black hero, with Atlantis being made up of sub-saharans who integrated with the original Atlanteans (lending more weight to Kilmonger’s famous epitaph).”
    While some of Marvel stars, particularly the original “Avengers” actors such as Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth, are known to have scored big paychecks following the big success of the franchise, the studio wouldn’t hesitate to recast a role if an issue came up with the actor. A similar situation previously happened to Terrence Howard, who was replaced by Don Cheadle as James Rhodes in “Iron Man 2” and the subsequent movies after Howard demanded a big pay raise.
    After being introduced as T’Challa in 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War”, Boseman led the cast of the first solo Black Panther movie (2018). He later reprised the role in “Avengers: Infinity War”, which was released in the same year, and 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame”.
    Back in November 2019, the “Marshall” star expressed his hope for a “Black Panther” sequel. “I think, you know, hopefully we can maintain the foundation that we sort of set and build upon it and expand it and explore it. That’s what I hope,” he shared. “But I think first you have to maintain the foundation. We built a culture and a world, so you have to make sure that you keep that in place.”
