And Black Panther 2’s director and writer both recently explained why the sequel killed of Angela Bassett’s Queen Ramonda.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is still in theaters now and continuing to make money at the box office.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was a meditation on grief, particularly showing how Letitia Wright’s Shuri was still unable to properly move on from the passing of her brother T’Challa.
Given just how powerful Angela Bassett’s performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was, there were no doubt plenty of fans who were disappointed to see her killed off during the acclaimed sequel.
