8 things you probably didn't know about Marvel star Letitia Wright

The movie centered on a young African American girl (played by Palmer) with a difficult home life. After participating in a spelling bee, she realized her true potential.

"She looked like me and she was smart and she was doing something positive," Wright told the Sunday Morning Herald. "I wanted to make people feel the way I felt after that movie – inspired, happy, like I believe I can do anything. It was just a good feeling."

Coincidentally, Wright's "Black Panther" costar Angela Bassett was also part of the film's cast.

The actress has showed off her skills during talk show appearances and videos posted on social media. One particular video that was recorded on the set of "Black Panther" went viral, and Wright was nicknamed MC Baby Underbite by costar Danai Gurira.

"It was all just for fun," Wright told Jimmy Fallon of the rap battles that she had while filming the Marvel movie.

During an interview with W magazine, Wright also mentioned that she's a fan of Jaleel White's role as Steve Urkel on the sitcom"Family Matters" and said he was her "favorite character."

The line takes place when T'Challa returns to Shuri's lab with CIA agent Ross (played by Martin Freeman), who got injured during a fight.

"When you see T'Challa bring back Ross she [Shuri] says, 'Great! Another broken white boy for us to fix!' That was my idea," Wright revealed to Yahoo.

The actress explained that director Ryan Coogler was all for her suggestion, especially since it was a nod to her character also healing Bucky Barnes after "Captain America: Civil War."

Wright told Refinery29 that she admires Davis, Michael B. Jordan, and Kerry Washington for taking the initiative in Hollywood, producing their own projects, and making more opportunities available for themselves.

And if there was a movie made about her life, Wright would want Naomie Harris to play her "any day."

She left her house one day, went to the bus stop, got the life-changing call, and "screamed" (which earned Wright some confused looks from strangers around her).

As Wright began booking more roles and her career started taking off, she struggled with anxiety and depression.

"I think it was that pressure to be accepted, to be somebody," she told W magazine. "When you're looking outside of yourself for happiness and validation, a mean comment on social media can wreck you. I was OK when I was on set, hiding behind my work, but when I wasn't acting I was full of fear and doubt, trying to fill this void inside of me any way I could: drinking, smoking. It was bad."

After reconnecting with Christianity, she eventually felt more secure and returned to acting.

"I had to look deeper to find what could hold me, and I found that what held me together was my relationship with Jesus and my relationship with God," she told Teen Vogue.

The award-winning show focused on four women living together amid the Liberian Civil War. Wright's part was also played by Lupita Nyong'o when "Eclipsed" hit Broadway in 2016.
