Are you sitting down? Good. We have news about Marvel’s much anticipated Black Panther.
A recent, but not minor, addition has been made to Ryan Coogler’s 90 per cent black cast for the upcoming superhero movie and it is about to make your melanin glow.
So far the cast is composed of…
Florence Kasumba is set to return as Ayo, the woman who casually put the Black Widow in her place in Captain America’s Civil War.
The very talented Forrest Whitetaker has been casted as one of Wakanda’s elders and we have faith he’ll know just what to do.
And the latest addition to the cast is… drumroll…
None other than Angela ‘I cannot age’ Bassett. After giving us Amanda Waller in Green Lantern, Angela Basset is back in the superhero universe and has been casted as T’Challa’s mother: Ramonda.
While it is amazing news, the choice seems obvious: who else has enough grace to portray the Queen Mother of the most powerful African nation ?
The film will hit our theaters in July 6th 2018 and the wait is going to be long.
