Dead ‘Black Panther’ Star Returns? You Won’t Believe How!

by

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is known not only for setting box office records, demanding extreme physical transformations from actors, and featuring lackluster villains, but also for casting exceptional, Academy Award-worthy performers who often fail to fully shine. One such actor is Angela Bassett, a two-time Oscar nominee who played Ramonda, T’Challa’s (played by the late Chadwick Boseman) mother in Black Panther and its sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Bassett delivered outstanding performances in both films, with some critics even advocating for her performance in the sequel to be considered for an Oscar. However, following typical MCU tradition, her character was abruptly killed off, effectively eliminating any opportunities for Ramonda to continue stealing scenes in future installments. Yet, Bassett remains hopeful about rejoining the MCU in some capacity.

During an interview on Good Morning America to publicize Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and 9-1-1, Basset spoke about her short stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and her desire to play Ramonda once more in the upcoming sequel. When asked if she’d consider reprising her role in Black Panther 3 directed by Ryan Coogler, Basset eagerly expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “That sounds intriguing.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), death seems less final with the introduction of the Multiverse and Loki’s escapades. However, in the world of Black Panther, a character’s return from the dead is more plausible, thanks to Angela Bassett’s involvement. The Ancestral Plane, integral to Black Panther’s storyline, serves as a resting place for the souls of Wakanda’s departed citizens. After Ramonda’s demise in “Wakanda Forever,” there is a possibility that Shuri or T’Challa’s son (introduced at the end of “Wakanda Forever”) might visit Ramonda on the Ancestral Plane, as Bassett hinted during an interview.

As a movie buff, I’m telling you, that Ancestral Plane? I might just find myself stepping into it. Given the chance, I’d seize it. If they ever reach out to me, count on it – I’ll be there, no question about it!

‘Black Panther 3’ Might Feature a Different A-List Star

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve learned about the progress of Black Panther 3! Officially, Marvel Studios is working on it, and the news dropped in late 2024. Ryan Coogler, who has been instrumental in the previous films, will be returning for this one too. Just like with every Marvel movie over the past decade, the storyline is being kept under wraps. The final plot details will probably be shaped after the release of Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, both of which are expected to significantly influence the MCU’s future direction.

Initially, it wasn’t disclosed which original cast members would rejoin the film when its release was announced. However, during his promotion of “Gladiator II,” Denzel Washington accidentally spilled that he might transition from the Colosseum to Wakanda in the upcoming “Black Panther” movie. Inadvertently, the actor revealed: “Ryan Coogler is writing a role for me in the next ‘Black Panther’.” Although Ryan Coogler hasn’t specified who Denzel Washington will portray, he confirmed that if the A-list actor agrees to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there will be a part tailored for him, stating: “There will be a role for Denzel Washington in the next ‘Black Panther’, as long as he’s willing to participate.

So far as his enthusiasm persists, that’s when the event will unfold. You should understand, he is not just any figure but a living legend, and an influential guide for numerous individuals like ourselves. At this moment, it appears he’s focusing on our welfare.
