Ryan Coogler Announces Third 'Black Panther' Film, David Jonsson to Star - Marvel.com

What the report says

Marvel Entertainment reported that Ryan Coogler announced a third “Black Panther” film during Marvel Studios’ Hall H panel, with actor David Jonsson joining the project as the title hero. The official Marvel snippet identifies Coogler as the filmmaker connected to the new installment and says Jonsson will star in the central Black Panther role.

The announcement points to another major chapter for one of Marvel Studios’ most commercially and culturally significant franchises. Coogler directed 2018’s “Black Panther” and 2022’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” both centered on Wakanda and the legacy of the Black Panther mantle. Marvel’s brief notice did not provide a release date, plot details, additional cast, production schedule or character name for Jonsson.

For context beyond the limited Marvel text, Jonsson is a British actor whose recent screen work has included film and television roles that raised his international profile. His casting would mark a notable new direction for the franchise, which has already dealt on screen with succession, national leadership and the meaning of the Black Panther identity after Chadwick Boseman’s death.

Because the public article text was unavailable, the confirmed details are narrow: Marvel says the news came at its Hall H presentation, Coogler announced the third film, and Jonsson is attached to star as the titular hero. Further specifics should be treated as unconfirmed until Marvel or the filmmakers release more information.
