US EditionMarvel’s Most Exciting New Sequel Just Got A Hopeful Update
Ryan Coogler confirmed Black Panther 3 as his next film with Denzel Washington reportedly cast; Empire magazine suggests a possible release date of February 18, 2028.
- Recently, Ryan Coogler confirmed Black Panther 3 is his next directorial venture while speaking on a Sinners panel and at Deadline's Contenders Film: Los Angeles.
- Earlier this year, Coogler's Sinners proved original storytelling sells, and he earned his return after directing Black Panther and Wakanda Forever, dedicated to late actor Chadwick Boseman.
- No official plot or release date exists, and Denzel Washington says Coogler is writing a role for him in Black Panther 3, while Empire magazine reported a possible February 18, 2028 slot.
- Letitia Wright's Shuri was established as Black Panther, so the franchise's two Oscar-winning films and major box-office success raise expectations for the third installment.
- Coogler's auteur reputation and Sinners' success position him to influence Marvel Cinematic Universe storytelling, and his typical three-to-four-year cycle frames timeline expectations.
