This should not really be a shock to anyone but it’s great news nonetheless. Black Panther is only the third film ever to gross over $700 million domestically; it’s also Marvel’s highest grossing film in that category as well.

And who better than the filmmaker who co-wrote and directed the mega-hit to tell them?
Coogler is supposed to direct a true-life drama with Michael B. Jordan next called Wrong Answer, so don’t expect him to jump into Black Panther 2 just yet. In fact, writing won’t start until next year with filming possibly happening in late 2019 or even early 2020, according to the report. But it’s coming and that’s simply excellent.
