Black Panther is back!
David Jonsson is the new Marvel hero, playing T’Challa’s son in the third installment out Dec. 15, 2028. The news was announced at Comic-Con.
Director Ryan Coogler will return for the third film, as well as Leticia Wright reprising her role as Shuri.
Wright took over as Black Panther from her late co-star Chadwick Boseman in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” with Shuri becoming the eponymous superhero. Boseman, who portrayed T’Challa in the first “Black Panther,” died of colon cancer at age 43 in 2020, when Coogler was working on the sequel.
Wright told Variety in January 2023 after the release of “Wakanda Forever” that she thought the third film in the franchise was “already in the works.”
