The actress, 28, plays Shuri in the film series and was injured back in August 2021. The Black Panther 2 team filmed as much as they could without the star but had to shutdown in late November of last year.

Her agent told The Hollywood Reporter that she always planned on returning to the production even though COVID-19 vaccination is mandatory for all people on-set.

Wright previously made statements that many perceived to be against vaccination from the virus that has killed more than 5.5 million people. 

The Black Mirror actress shared a link to a YouTube video last December which questioned whether people should get vaccinated. 

She wrote on Twitter, 'If you don't conform to popular opinions. but ask questions and think for yourself….you get cancelled.' 

After some backlash from fans regarding her tweet, she responded 'You have every right to ask questions about what goes into your body and ask questions until you feel you are ready.' 

Wright did make it clear that it was 'not my intention to make anyone upset [prayer hands emoji] Nor am I saying don't take it. I'm just concerned about what's in it that's all. Isn't that fair to question or ask?' 

Despite the slow down in production, it hasn't been bad news for the entire cast.
