Angela Bassett Teases Epic Return as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther 3!

by

Angela Bassett is eager to rejoin the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Queen Ramonda in the upcoming “Black Panther 3.” During an interview on “Good Morning America,” the esteemed actress not only showed great excitement about returning to her role but also proposed a possible means for her character’s return, hinting at Wakanda’s Ancestral Plane. It would be delightful to see Queen Mother Ramonda back on screen again, and given the magical elements already present in Wakandan folklore, it wouldn’t be difficult to leverage Bassett’s remarkable talent for the sequel. Moreover, since “Black Panther 3” is still some time away from release, Marvel Studios has ample opportunity to devise an effective way to bring her back.

Bassett made it clear she’d love to reprise her role in ‘Black Panther 3’. She hinted that the Ancestral Plane could be a possibility and confirmed she’d be up for it. In her words, ‘It could happen. I would absolutely.’ This seems to reflect a shared desire among fans.

During the movie “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Queen Ramonda sacrificed herself to save Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) when Namor (Tenoch Huerta Mejía) flooded the throne room, leaving a strong impact on Shuri (Letitia Wright). This event sparked Shuri’s initial desire for revenge but led her to choose a different path as the new Black Panther. Interestingly, the film set up a way for deceased characters to play crucial roles, as Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), who died at the end of the first “Black Panther,” appeared emotionally in “Wakanda Forever” after Shuri traveled to the Ancestral Plane with a synthetic heart-shaped herb. This pattern suggests that Queen Ramonda could continue offering guidance to Shuri even from beyond the physical world, as actress Angela Bassett hinted.

Everything We Know About Black Panther 3

The production of Black Panther 3 is currently in progress, but fans might need to show some patience before revisiting Wakanda. Prior to diving into the Marvel threequel, director Ryan Coogler opted to focus on his own vampire horror project titled Sinners, suggesting a personal creative motivation rather than solely adhering to established narratives or universes. This decision seems to have been successful, as Coogler’s Sinners continues to achieve significant success at the international box office.

Although details about the storyline of Black Panther 3 are scarce, it has been confirmed that Denzel Washington will be part of the cast in an unspecified role. Director Ryan Coogler has expressed his eagerness to work with the esteemed actor, assuming Washington remains keen on joining the project despite its prolonged development phase. Previously, Washington hinted that a role was written specifically for him by Coogler, but specifics are still unknown.

In the latest film, “Captain America: Brave New World,” we’re introduced to adamantium, a metal stronger than vibranium. This powerful resource is presented by President Thaddeus Ross (played by Harrison Ford) as not belonging to an isolated nation, setting up a potential conflict. The technological superiority and precious resource of Wakanda could be directly threatened, leading to a possible adamantium vs. vibranium war. This could further develop the franchise’s exploration of Wakanda’s role in a rapidly evolving world. At the end of “Wakanda Forever,” Namor foretold that other nations might turn against Wakanda, making Talokan an important ally when this happens. This plot point could be continued in “Black Panther 3.

It’s projected that the release of Black Panther 3 will occur following the future Avengers series, which suggests a potential premiere date as late as 2028 or even later.
