Here’s The “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” Cast In Their First Roles Vs. Now
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hit theaters last weekend, and fans can’t seem to get enough of our Wakandan faves.
I, too, can’t get enough, so I thought I’d do a deep pe into the cast members’ histories and pull up some pics from all of their first major roles.
Here’s what I found:
1. Letitia Wright plays Shuri in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
