Letitia Wright is so famous right now, that if she appeared in an ad for haemorrhoid cream it would get a gazillion views. She knows the world’s watching. Here’s what she wants you to see.
In April of last year, Wright took a break from filming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to appear in this Irish drama about a young asylum seeker. Like Wright’s MCU character Shuri, Aisha Osagie is a brave and formidably smart African woman. Like Shuri, Aisha has recently lost a beloved brother and is the apple of her mother’s eye. Unlike Shuri, Aisha is a stranger to high-tech gadgets and globe-trotting missions. Stuck in a Dublin hostel for over a year, Aisha faces an uphill struggle simply to microwave her lunch.
