BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER FILMING AT M.I.T.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been filming on and around the M.I.T. campus much to the excitement of students and faculty. According to NBC Boston witnesses spotted production crews near the M.I.T. student center and on the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge.
“They had some race cars around and a motorcycle and there were rumors about maybe a helicopter,” shared MIT professor Dr. Tal Cohen. “They were filming some — what seemed to be action scenes here on Albany and Mass Ave., and also on the bridge and in some of the dorms.”

Details about the plot of are scarce, but Kevin Feige did confirm that the film will be the debut of Riri Williams aka Ironheart before her Disney Plus series premieres. And with Dominique Thorne filming on the M.I.T. campus it looks like the character may be a student at the school as she is in the comics.
Riri Williams looks to be sharing the screen with Shuri and Okoye based on the actresses that have been spotted in Boston. And with stunt scenes being filmed around the campus could it be that Ironheart’s armor is already active? And what does it mean for Shuri that Letitia Wright is involved in stunt work outside of Wakanda? Whatever the case may be, we’re glad to hear that Letitia Wright has already been released from the hospital and only suffered minor injuries.
