Before Black Panther, Letitia got stage credits to her name, too, performing in a play about Liberian rebel soldiers called Eclipsed in the West End. Her future Black Panther costar Danai Gurira wrote it, and Letitia's role was played by Lupita Nyong'o when the play moved to Broadway. The British actress told Vanity Fair she thinks of this coincidence as a "triangular, crazy connection".
