A Marvel representative confirmed to CBS News that actress Letitia Wright was injured during filming a stunt on the set of the next film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” on Wednesday.

In “Wakanda Forever,” Wright reprises her role as Shuri, the princess of Wakanda and sister of King T’Challa. Ryan Coogler is back in the director’s chair, this time directing a picture based on a story he co-wrote with Joe Robert Cole.

The nature of her injuries was not disclosed, although she was injured while working on a stunt rig. The actress had been released from the hospital before 1 p.m. PT.

The filming took place overnight in Boston, while the sequel to “Black Panther” is being produced in Atlanta. The shooting timetable for the film is presently unaffected.

Following Boseman’s death, Wright said last year that filming the sequel would be challenging.

“The thought of doing it without him is kinda strange,” she told Net-A-Porter. “We’re just grieving at the moment, so it’s trying to find the light in the midst of it.”
