replacing character in python

I have a dataset with many columns. The values in columns start with "[" and end with "]". Like "[Sinopharm]". I want to replace "[" and "]" with nothing. I did the following code but not both can be changed.

data['q3'] = data['q3'].str.replace('[', '')

Important: I want to replace both at once and to all columns. Like ‘q4’, ‘q5’ etc
