Black Panther 3: Angela Bassett on if Queen Ramonda Will Be Resurrected
Actress Angela Bassett, who has portrayed Ramonda in multiple entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, reflected on how her character could return in Black Panther 3 during a new interview. Notably, Ramonda, who became the sovereign of Wakanda following the death of her son T'Challa, was killed herself when Tenoch Huerta Mejía's Namor attacked her country in 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Bassett has expressed interest in returning as Ramonda in Black Panther 3 and speculated on how her character could appear despite being killed in the previous movie. During her appearance on Good Morning America, the hosts asked her about her latest feature, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and brought up how her Black Panther co-star, Michael B. Jordan, made an appearance at the premiere to support her. One Good Morning America host observed, 'We're talking about 'Mission: Impossible.' It was thrilling…Michael B. Jordan was there, supporting you,' before adding, 'And of course, a lot of people are like, 'Oh my goodness,' talking about Wakanda. Another movie, perhaps a third one.' 'That would be wonderful,' Bassett said in response. She later hypothesized that the character could appear in Black Panther 3 in a scene involving the Ancestral Plane. She said, 'I could be there. You know? It could happen. I would, absolutely.' In the MCU, the Ancestral Plane is an astral dimension where people of Wakanda go after their death. Previously, Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa interacted with his dead father in the Ancestral Plane in Black Panther. A similar encounter happened between Letitia Wright's Shuri and Jordan's Killmonger in Wakanda Forever. Accordingly, it could potentially be how Bassett reprises her role. Notably, Bassett received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Ramonda in Wakanda Forever. During the above-mentioned interview, when another host said that 'we all' wanted Bassett to appear in Black Panther 3, the actress agreed. 'We do. Everyone wants it to happen,' she said. As per reports, the third Black Panther movie could come out in 2028. Originally reported by Tamal Kundu on SuperHeroHype.
