Letitia spoke about her role as Shuri and what it is like to technically be a Disney Princess, as the daughter of Wakandaโs former king, TโChaka, and sister of TโChalla.
โI was like, โwhatโs this Disney Princess pressure? Do I have to be perfect?โโ said Wright, via Syfy. โThen I realized that everyoneโs just so geeked about having a different kind of female character in the Marvel universe and the Disney universe. And thereโs going to be much, much more โ Iโm not the only Disney Princess to come to the surface and claim that title.โ
