Letitia Wright Denies Reports of Pushing Anti-Vax Agenda on Set of Wakanda Forever

Letitia Wright as Shuri in Black Panther

Letitia Wright's anti-vaccine rhetoric has been depressing to watch, as she does play the smartest person in the Marvel Universe (My Shuri believes in vaccines) and it is couched in this religious language that makes me feel uneasy because it reminds me of things I've seen in my own communities.

The Internet Is Blown Away by Jamie Costa’s Spot-On Robin Williams Screen Test Video

I'm typically not a fan of impressions, especially in the way of casting for a biopic because, sometimes, there isn't the ability to bring that person fully to life behind the impression. That very much isn't the case with Costa. This video shows that he understands Williams beyond just his mannerisms, and I would love to see a biopic about the actor with Costa in the role.
