OK, Marvel; now you're really spoiling us.
Deadline announced Angela Bassett has joined the cast of
theBlack Panther solo film; playing Ramonda, the mother of T'Challa AKA Black
Panther. In the comics, the character is actually T'Challa's stepmother, with
his actual mother dying during his birth; so it looks like this will be a
departure from the comics, likely just for narrative simplicity.
The Oscar-nominated actress has recently been devoting much
of her time to Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story series, though she also made
her directorial debut last year with Lifetime's Whitney Houston biopic Whitney.
She joins the film's immensely talented cast: with Chadwick
Boseman returning as the titular hero, alongside Michael B. Jordan's villain
Erik Killmonger. Forest Whitaker will play elder statesman Zuri, while Lupita
Nyong'o will play Nakia - a member of the Black Panther's bodyguard Dora Milaje
and a possible love interest for the hero. Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya,
Winston Duke, and Florence Kasumba also star.
We so far know the film won't be an origin story,
considering the character's beginnings were largely covered by Captain America
Boseman has clarified the tone will depart slightly from the
humour-heavy latest entries into the MCU; revealing Black Panther will
certainly be, "grittier than in Ant-Man".
Black Panther arrives 6 July 2018.
