Angela Bassett feels Chadwick Boseman is ‘irreplaceable’ in ‘Black Panther 2’

Angela Bassett believes that Chadwick Boseman will be “irreplaceable” in the “Black Panther” sequel.

The 62-year-old actress is set to reprise her role as Queen Ramonda in the Marvel Cinematic Universe project but will not appear alongside Boseman as T’Challa after the star died of colon cancer in August.

Discussing Boseman’s colon cancer diagnosis, Angela said: “Our brother held it really close, really close to his chest.

“But his legacy, his loss, the love and appreciation that we have for who he was and what he shared with us cannot be [replaced] … It is missed and appreciated and cannot be duplicated. It’s a tremendous honour and, yes, he is completely irreplaceable.”

Angela added that Marvel boss Kevin Feige and director Ryan Coogler are “committed” to telling a story as much as they possibly can.
