We recently got a big update on some release date delays for upcoming films like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. And, while filming had already begun on the Black Panther sequel, the production has hit a roadblock.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, production for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be temporarily shutting down while star, Letitia Wright, recovers from an injury that she suffered on set back in August.

Having shot what is said to be “all footage that [the] crew is able to without Wright,” production will likely shut down beginning the week of Thanksgiving. It is currently expected to resume sometime in early 2022.
