"It was a really outside-of-the-box way to look at T'Challa. There are some Bond films that I really, really like, and it gave me the opportunity to go watch some other ones," he added.
Like any 007 Bond movies, that feature mind-blowing gadgets and stunts, King T'Challa will also feature some jaw-dropping weaponry, Letitia Wright confirmed. The actress, who plays T'Challa's sister, said that her role is to provide her brother with all the gadgets he needs to fight Erik Killmonger, played by Michael B. Jordan.
"Yeah, why not? She's T'Challa's Q. She's by his side with the technology he needs. The way she helps him is really cool," Wright said.
"I hope Shuri can help people. Maybe you're in school right now, and super smart and super intelligent, and people may be saying, 'You're a geek,' or whatever, making them feel bad. Maybe they can watch this film and be like, 'Man! Being smart or a scientist or super great at math is not a bad thing at all,'" she added.
