Angela Bassett in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' Annette Brown/Marvel/Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures /Courtesy Everett Collection Wakanda Forever didn’t get quite the same level of critical acclaim as the original Black Panther, but Bassett was lauded for her performance of a mourning Queen Ramonda, helping deliver an emotional sendoff for Chadwick Boseman and his leading man T’Challa role. Forest Whitaker, who directed the Bassett-fronted film Waiting to Exhale in 1995 and co-starred in Black Panther with Bassett in 2018, lauded her in the Town & Country profile as well.
