Wakanda! The production of Marvel's Black Panther sequel is ready to continue. Following several setbacks, including COVID-19 infections and Letitia Wright's onset injury, production of the film — titled Black Panther: Wakanda Forever — is set to begin again, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Per the outlet, production of the highly-anticipated sequel was initially supposed to have restarted earlier in the month, but was delayed when several cast and crew members tested positive for COVID-19. (Among them included star Lupita Nyong'o.) Shooting for the film is now scheduled to continue this week. Sources told THR that there are "about four weeks" of filming left on the Ryan Coogler-directed project. Insiders also told the outlet that the movie's release date, which is currently Nov. 11, 2022, will not be impacted. The film was previously scheduled to be released on July 8, 2022, before Disney reshuffled its release schedule last year.
