You asked, and Coogler’s finally confirmed it: his next movie to hit the big screen will be another ‘Black Panther.’<\/b>
\nWe\u2019ll be going back to the world of Wakanda soon enough, as Ryan Coogler has announced Black Panther 3 as his next project.
During a panel for Sinners at Deadline\u2019s Contenders Film event, the writer\/director confirmed the threequel is \u201cthe next movie\u201d on his schedule. \u201cIf it was anybody but you, I would say, \u2018I can neither confirm nor deny.\u2019 But we\u2019re working on it hard.\u201d

It\u2019s never been a question of if Coogler would go back to Black Panther, but when: Marvel\u2019s got quite a few heroes waiting on their sequels and have been MIA for a minute. Even so, the two Panther movies have done pretty well at the box office, and Shuri, M\u2019Baku, and Namor are locked in for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. A third film was all but a given, especially after last November when Denzel Washington teased Coogler was eyeing him for a mystery role, something the director later confirmed.
Marvel previously laid some flags for unannounced MCU movies on its incoming schedule spanning the next few years, particularly four movies expected to land in 2028. We\u2019ll see where Black Panther 3 ends up on the slate, and how it\u2019ll be affected by whatever the Wakandans get mixed up in during Doomsday and Secret Wars. Until then, the first two films and the recent Eyes of Wakanda animated miniseries are there to watch over on Disney+. But if you\u2019d like some more Coogler, there\u2019s always Sinners and his upcoming take on The X-Files.<\/p>\n
