In November it was reported that filming for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was temporarily halted until early 2022 as a result of Letitia Wright’s on-set injury. A new letter from Kevin Feige to the cast and crew reveals Wright’s on-set injury was more severe than initially believed.

Deadline acquired a note sent to the cast and crew of Black Panther 2 from Marvel’s Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, and Nate Moore. The three addressed the production halt and Wright’s injury and revealed Wright suffered a “critical shoulder fracture, and a concussion with severe side effects.”

Wright was reportedly injured in an incident involving a stunt rig. In the note from the Marvel producers, the injuries were originally believed to be minor but have proven to be much more serious. “It has been a painful process and Letitia has been home recovering with her doctors and the support of family.”

Wright and the team are set to resume filming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in January 2022. Sources say Wright also sent a video message to the cast and crew thanking them for their support.

Right before the production pause, the crew continued to film scenes in Atlanta, Georgia that didn’t require Wright’s presence. But with Wright’s Shuri set to take a bigger role in the sequel, filming has become impossible to continue without her.

The production pause led Marvel to move Black Panther 2’s release date from July 8 to November 11 and shift a few other Marvel titles around for 2022 as well. Check out IGN’s full schedule of upcoming Marvel shows and movies here.

Disney+ is slowly stacking the cast for its upcoming Star Wars series Ahsoka. Alongside Rosario Dawson’s titular character, Natasha Liu Bordizzo has been cast as Sabine Wren from the animated Star Wars Rebels series.

According to Deadline, Liu Bordizzo has been cast in a lead role opposite Dawson’s Ahsoka, meaning Sabine Wren could feature prominently in the upcoming live-action series.

Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian warrior first introduced in Star Wars Rebels. She is a member of the Ghost crew alongside Captain Hera Syndulla, Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, and Garazeb Orrelios.

At the end of Rebels, she left with Ahsoka Tano to search for Ezra, which could set up how Wren will show up on Ahsoka given the two character’s shared history.

Disney’s Ahsoka series is set to begin production in early 2022. Alongside Sabine Wren, the series is set to include Hayden Christiansen reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

Ahsoka will be written by Star Wars Rebels co-creator Dave Filoni, who appears to be bringing several of his animated Star Wars protagonists to live-action.

Filoni was also behind the creation of Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker's Padawan during The Clone Wars. The character made her live-action debut in the second season of The Mandalorian.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lindo is in final negotiations to join the cast of Marvel’s vampire hunter outing. No word on who Lindo will play, however.

One of the most highly anticipated exclusive titles for Xbox One and PC was Scalebound, which unceremoniously got canceled in January 2017. Platinum Games director Hideki Kamiya is now apologizing for the game's development.

In a new interview with the YouTube channel, Cutscenes, Kamiya shed some new light on Scalebound's cancelation. He had the desire to make a high-end, photorealistic game. That meant Platinum Games had to improve its graphical abilities as the next step in modern game creation.

"I’m sorry to the players who looked forward to it, and moreover I’m sorry to Microsoft who had placed their trust in us as a business partner," Kamiya said. "I want to apologize both as a creator and as a member of Platinum Games."

Kamiya said that he loved fantasy worlds with swords, magic, and dragons growing up. He also played classic PC games like Sorcerian and Hydlide, so that's where he got the idea to center Scalebound around a young man fighting together with a dragon.

"However, it was a big challenge for Platinum Games," says Kamiya. "We were working in an environment we weren’t used to. We were developing on the Unreal engine, we also lacked the necessary know-how to build a game based on online features. The hurdles we had to overcome were very big."

He explains that the studio wasn't experienced enough to get over the many walls, leading to the cancelation of Scalebound. Back in 2019, Kamiya also lamented that Microsoft took the brunt of the criticism, noting that both sides had issues.

Last year, Platinum Games said that the studio would love to finish Scalebound, but Microsoft owns the entire IP. So It's up to Microsoft to decide if the game ever comes back.
