Letitia Wright Chats Small Axe: Mangrove, John Boyega, & More With Dazed

Letitia Wright stars in a new article for Dazed. The young actress sat down with the magazine to promote her new anthology series, Small Axe: Mangrove. Highlights from her interview are below.

On her acting family: “I see Danny (Daniel) Kaluuya as an older brother, and Malachi Kirby. I see Naomie Harris as an older sister. Danai Gurira, I see as an amazing older sister. Definitely, Chadwick represented being my brother”.

On how John Boyega influenced her: “He was like, I’m going to book a feature film and be the lead, and we were just like, What? Then he booked Attack the Block. In that film, he played a character called Moses – in the Bible, Moses is the person that’s meant to lead the Israelites to the promised land. Moses was the torchbearer. I can see the parallel. John influenced all of us to think bigger.”
