Letitia Wright’s childhood and early roles

Currently only 29 years old, Letitia Michelle Wright has already carved quite an impressive career for herself in Hollywood. The actress was born on the 31st of October 1993 in Georgetown, Guyana, before moving to London with her family at the age of seven. However, Wright experienced abuse from classmates for her accent, something which she tried to change when she was younger. 

According to the actress herself, she was inspired to get into acting by Keke Palmer’s performance in Akeelah and the Bee. At the age of 16, she enrolled in the Identity School of Acting In London, and from there, she was able to get numerous small parts in multiple British TV shows.

Her early work as an actress included appearances in shows such as Holby City and Black Mirror.

Shortly after that, her first big break came with Black Panther in 2018. She played Princess Shuri, the younger sister of T’Challa (Ready Player One.

After Boseman’s untimely death in 2020, Wright was ultimately chosen to be the new Black Panther for the MCU, which was quite the promotion considering she had only really been a side character before. Although it was a tough role to fill, Wright did a great job at not only taking on the new mantle but doing so in a way that isn’t disrespectful to the actor who came before.

How much did Wright make from those movies?

Wright’s earnings for the first Black Panther film have not been confirmed; however, she did make a cool $700,000 for her leading role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever according to Illumination’s Sing 2 only earning her around $150,000.

What is Letitia Wright’s net worth now?

Right now, Letitia Wright’s current net worth is reported to be around $4 million, which isn’t too bad considering she isn’t even 30 yet. Of course, that number will very likely go up as the actress bags more and more major roles in movies. Currently, we don’t have any updates regarding a Secret Wars.

What else do we know about Wright?

Wright is a Christian and she partially credits her acting success to her faith. According to her interview with The Guardian, she felt “empty” and it almost led to her quitting acting. Wright turned to Christianity, which helped her find the contentment that she needed to not only return to her profession but flourish in it.

Letitia is 5’5” or 1.65 meters tall. She is currently single, although a while back, there were rumors that the MCU star was dating John Boyega — but those rumors were never confirmed. There were even rumors that she was dating model Eva Apio after the two changed their profile pics to each other’s faces on Twitter, although it seems like they’re just friends. For now, the actress has stated that she’s happy to wait for love as she’s apparently not using any dating apps.
