Marvel fans have been buzzing with speculation about who will join the epic showdown in Avengers: Secret Wars, but details about the cast are being kept under tight wraps. While rumors swirl about new faces, one familiar hero is now officially on board. Letitia Wright, who has portrayed Shuri since 2018, has confirmed she’ll be back for the highly anticipated 2027 film.
Shuri’s Return Confirmed

While she remained tight-lipped about plot details and the arrival of Victor Von Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., Wright spoke from the heart about what it means to return to the Marvel universe.
“Always. Always. It’s an honor, but it’s also a tribute and a legacy for all that we’ve done in the first films, and I carry my brother every time,”
she said, referencing her late co-star Chadwick Boseman.
“It’s a big, big, huge honor for me. I’m excited for the growth of Shuri to be seen in these next few films.”
