Letitia Wright, known for her iconic role as Shuri in Black Panther, has been immortalized with wax figures at Madame Tussauds. The renowned wax museum unveiled three stunning figures in her honor, now on display at their Hollywood, Amsterdam, and Sydney locations.
Madame Tussauds, a globally renowned wax museum, is famous for its lifelike wax sculptures of celebrities, historical figures, and pop culture icons. Founded in London by Marie Tussaud in 1835, the museum has expanded to multiple locations worldwide, including major cities like New York, Amsterdam, and Bangkok.
Each wax figure is crafted with painstaking detail, often taking months to complete using hundreds of measurements and reference materials.
Wright, celebrated as one of the brightest talents of her generation, gained international acclaim for her portrayal of Shuri, the tech-savvy and witty princess of Wakanda. Her performance in Black Panther (2018) won over fans worldwide with her intelligence, humor, and charisma.
Beyond her on-screen success, Wright has an inspiring journey. She discovered her passion for acting after watching the film Akeelah and the Bee and later achieved significant recognition, earning the Rising Star Award at the 2019 BAFTA Awards.
As her career continues to soar, Wright has expressed ambitions to step behind the camera, aspiring to direct and produce films that showcase diverse and meaningful stories.
With these new wax figures, Madame Tussauds celebrates not only her achievements but also her influence in the entertainment industry.
Fans visiting the Hollywood, Amsterdam, or Sydney locations can now experience her presence up close.
Never has anyone seen a wax figure that is so identical to the real person that you can hardly spot the difference.
What do you think, did Madame Tussauds capture her essence perfectly?
