"Black Panther 2: Long Live Wakanda" has just resumed filming, and the shooting has been suspended!
THR reported on the challenges of filming during the coronavirus as a new variant of the coronavirus swept across the country. Affected works include Black Panther 2, which has just resumed production after Leticia Wright returned to the filming scene due to a stunt accident.
Several cast and crew members reportedly tested positive for COVID-19, including Lupita Niono. It is worth mentioning that Letitia Wright, who played the "Black Panther Sister" Princess Su Rui in "Black Panther 2", repeatedly expressed her anti-vaccine views on the set, and now the crew has been forced to suspend filming because of the new crown, which is a great irony. Many netizens have complained that "the play is a high IQ in reality but there is a big difference from high IQ", and some netizens expressed dissatisfaction with this remark, saying "Hurry up and change the actor", and many netizens expressed the hope that the heirs of the Black Panther can be replaced.
There were many vignettes in the production of Black Panther 2: Long Live Wakanda. After the unfortunate death of Chadwick Boseman, the star of "Black Panther" in 2020, the script and everything else were forced to change, and then Letitia Wright, who played The Black Panther's sister Princess Suri, was injured in a stunt accident on the set, but it is expected that she will take over the mantle of Black Panther and become a second-generation Black Panther, and immediately after recovery, she rushed to the scene to shoot.
According to THR, due to the outbreak of the Omicron variant of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Europe and the United States, several actors and crew tested positive for COVID, and the film was stopped again, including Lupita Nyong'o, who will re-play Nakia in the sequel.
The Marvel movie is just one of several Hollywood productions affected by the surge in COVID-19 cases that issued the Omicron variant. There were recent reports that the crew of Star Trek: Pickard was shut down after testing positive for 50 people in the new crown.
Despite the increase in the outbreak, sources say there is not much hope for stricter vaccination rules on set. Hollywood studios employ a multi-layered system in which members at the top, usually actors and people around them, have stricter security requirements, while lower-level members such as post-production don't, and there are concerns that there could be an outbreak there that could affect the project.
Regardless of the pandemic, Black Panther 2: Viva Wakanda will still be released in 2022 alongside other Marvel projects, including Doctor Strange 2: Crazy Multiverse and Thor 4: Love and Thunder.
