Abstract

- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (DISNEY) - Breaking (BLEECKER STREET) The Woman King (SONY) John Boyega and Letitia Wright have known each other since meeting 13 years ago at the Identity School of Acting in London; later, they both appeared in Steve McQueen's "Small Axe" mini-series. Meanwhile, in the wake of the tragic loss of franchise lead Chadwick Boseman, Wright took on the mantle of the hero in Ryan Coogler's smash Marvel movie "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." Boyega's 2022 included turns in Abi Damaris Corbin's Sundance standout "Breaking" and Gina Prince-Bythewood's "The Woman King." WRIGHT: The first film - because of the love and the appreciation we got from the audiences seeing the ways in which T'Challa was surrounded by women who were just phenomenal - that was the inspiration for this film.
