She is part of one of the biggest franchises in modern cinema, with her role as Shuri, the genius tech scientist little sister of Wakanda's protector T'Challa. It's a demanding character, given thatThis isn't the first, nor last, role that Wright has taken which explores themes of loss — loss of love, control, humanity.
