Angela Bassett has already put the world on notice as Queen of Wakanda. Now, she’s ready to do it again as President of the United States. According to TVLine, the “Black Panther” star is joining the new Netflix thriller Zero Day” as the Commander-in-Chief. The casting makes perfect sense, because obviously our Queen should be POTUS. While we’re celebrating Bassett, we have some ideas for other Black actresses who should play the President of the United States. Just to be clear, the list always starts with Oscar winner Viola Davis. But she’s already attached to play the role in the upcoming film, “G20.”
