Angela Bassett Will Play Black Panther's Mother in Upcoming Marvel Movie

Marvel fans that have been keeping track know that we've met Black Panther (a.k.a. T'Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman) and his father T'Chaka (played by John Kani) thanks to Captain America: Civil War. But no mother figure...until now.  

On Nov. 21, Marvel announced the family's matriarch will be played by Angela Bassett in the upcoming Black Panther flick. The American Horror Story star is set to play Ramonda, who Marvel describes as "mother of T’Challa, a.k.a. Black Panther."
