Angela Bassett had to grapple with loss and grief during her reign as Queen Ramonda in Marvel’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
“This movie was about grief and loss, family, a remembrance, a legacy and moving on,” Bassett told Deadline in an interview published this week. “That’s something that’s so very human.” Her loss was that of the 2018 “Black Panther” film’s star Chadwick Boseman, who played King T’Challa. Boseman died in August 2020 after a battle with colon cancer at age 43. Yet, the two-time Oscar nominee managed to find light amid the darkness once “Wakanda Forever” came out.
“I think we definitely tried to impart the feeling of, ‘A good morning comes after a long, dark night.’” Bassett made history when she was nominated for best supporting actress for her role in “Wakanda Forever,” becoming the first actor to earn an Oscar nod for a Marvel film. While that historic marker will live on in real life, Bassett’s Queen Ramonda saw her final end in the movie – something the actor admitted that she was “shocked” and “surprised” to learn at first.
