Marvel’s follow-up to the popular “Black Panther” film – which was originally slated to be released on July — is now set to hit theaters on November 11, per Variety. Fans of the superhero franchise, who were anticipating the movie’s release, can rest assured it won’t disappoint, as “Wakanda Forever” star Angela Bassett promised the sequel will be “amazing.”
During a March 21 appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show, Bassett was asked if she could reveal any details about the upcoming film, to which she replied, “It’s going to be amazing. It’s going to top [the first] one.” Bassett, who stars as Ramonda in the action film, also praised her on-screen son, T’Challa (Black Panther), played by late actor Chadwick Boseman. “He was such an example. Such a leader, amazing talent, we all know that,” she told DeGeneres, adding, “Big heart, great intellect, and we hope to just raise his standard.”
Lupita Nyong’o, who stars as Nakia, echoed that sentiment in a February conversation with People. “We are holding him [Boseman] in close light. I think people will be excited about this one.”
