Marvel shared many amazing news about its future projects at this year’s Comic-Con including Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The long-awaited Black Panther sequel is one of the most anticipated films of the year and Marvel finally gave us a taste of things to come in the first teaser trailer.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever shows the leaders of the kingdom of Wakanda fighting to protect their nation in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. This plot change was made following the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman in 2020, and Marvel decided to honor him by not recasting T’Challa.

The trailer has Angela Bassett’s Ramonda as Queen of Wakanda, fighting for her kingdom after losing her son. Letitia Wright will have a bigger role as Shuri, with Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, and Florence Kasumba returning to their roles from the previous film.

Ryan Coogler is also returning as a director and he reflected on Chadwick Boseman’s impact on this project at Comic-Con.

“We put our love for Chadwick into this film. We also put our passion. This film has a ton of action and humor. It’s also a roller coaster of a movie. It goes to new places in Wakanda that we’ve never been before but other corners of the MCU,” said Coogler.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to premiere on November 11, as the final film of the MCU’s Phase Four.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen is plotting a follow-up to his last movie Widows, and he decided to join forces with BBC. He’s developing the intriguing anthology series Small Axe, with Letitia Wright and John Boyega in the leads.

Small Axe will focus on the struggles of the members of the West Indian community, living in London between the ‘60s and the ‘80s. The six-part series will tell five different stories, that McQueen wanted to share with the world.

“I wanted to relive, reevaluate and investigate the journeys that my parents and the first generation of West Indians went on to deliver me here today calling myself a black British person. What’s important about our stories is that they are local but at the same time global,” explained the 12 Years A Slave director in a statement.

Wright and Boyega aren’t the only actors cast in McQueen’s next project. Small Axe will also star Malachi Kirby (Roots), Shaun Parkes (Lost in Space), Rochenda Sandall (Line of Duty), Alex Jennings (The Crown) and Jack Lowden (War & Peace).

The series is expected to premiere on BBC One next year, and Amazon already picked the US rights.

2018 has been an amazing year for Letitia Wright and she’s ending it on a high note. The young actress recently earned the title of the highest box office earning actor of 2018, according to Fandango.

Letitia Wright got her big break by playing the brilliant princess Shuri in Marvel’s smash hit Black Panther. Many have seen her as the highlight of this film as she provided the comic relief that no Marvel film can go without.

Wright didn’t top Fandango’s list thanks to this film alone. She reprised her role as Shuri in Avengers: Infinity War, and made a brief appearance in another box office hit – Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One. According to Fandango’s analysis, her films earned a total of $1.55 billion on domestic box office.

Wright had the most perfect reaction to the news. She shared the post with her followers on Twitter and wrote, “just deposit that amount into my bank account”.

Letitia Wright isn’t the only Black Panther actor to appear on this list. She was followed by her co-stars Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Florence Kasumba and Sebastian Stan, who makes a brief cameo in this film.

2018 was a year filled with dozens of amazing performances, and newcomers just happened to give some of them.

The world learned their names thanks to formidable portrayals they gave in big blockbusters and indie films alike and something tells us they’re here to stay. Let’s take a look at 10 rising stars who took Hollywood by storm this year.

Elsie Fisher

This newcomer won our hearts with one of the most vulnerable, honest and revealing performances in recent memory with her Golden Globe-nominated role in Eighth Grade.

Zazie Beetz

Atlanta put Beetz on the map, but Deadpool 2 showed us she’s not going anywhere but up.

Noah Centineo

2018 proved Netflix movies can turn relative unknowns into overnight sensations. The breakout star of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is a case in point.

Letitia Wright

Black Panther featured several amazing performances, but we can all agree that Wright stole the show as brilliant and hilarious princess Shuri.

John David Washington

It was just a matter of time before John David Washington joined Hollywood’s elite, and the role in BlacKkKlansman finally got him over the line.

KiKi Layne

Regina King’s performance is everyone’s favorite part of If Beale Street Could Talk, but this film also gave us an amazing breakout star in KiKi Layne.

Cynthia Erivo

Erivo already has one Tony under her belt, but she became the talk of Tinseltown thanks to her starring roles in Widows and Bad Times at the El Royale.

Thomasin McKenzie

Leave No Trace is one of the most underrated films of 2018, and it’s a shame Thomasin McKenzie isn’t getting the same kind of recognition Jennifer Lawrence did while working with Debra Granik.

Lady Gaga

It may seem strange to call Lady Gaga a “rising star”, but it would be even stranger to ignore her career-defining movie debut in A Star Is Born.

Awkwafina

Awkwafina was MVP and a breath of fresh air in every movie she appeared this year, including Ocean’s Eight and Crazy Rich Asians.
