The cast of Black Panther cover the March issue of ESSENCE and the photos are (how do we say it again) lit AF.

See below and tell us which group slayed the photo-shoot?

A. The Women of Black Panther:

B. The Men of Black Panther:

Angela Bassett, who has an envious career and numerous awards under her belt including a Golden Globe, says that despite the roles she’s had the opportunity to play, royalty is rare.

“Just to have the opportunity to portray that, image—me, a little Black girl from the Florida projects,” she told ESSENCE.


“Playing a queen was just unattainable, unavailable. Even in a fictitious world, a Black woman cannot be queen.”

She scoffs, “Why can’t I be?”
