The new film pays emotional tribute to T\u2019Challa star Chadwick Boseman, after the hugely popular actor tragically passed away in 2020, while also telling a new story that pits the Wakandans against iconic Marvel Comics character Namor.<\/p>\n
And the film also leaves the door open to future sequels \u2013 so read on for everything we know so far about Black Panther 3.<\/p>
Will there be a Black Panther 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n ![\"""\"]( "\\"\"\"\\"\/")

In late October 2022, producer Nate Moore had explained to Collider<\/a> that, \u201cWe really want to see how audiences receive the film, and I think Ryan [Coogler] is really interested to see how the film plays before we decide.\u201d<\/p>\nHe added: \u201cThere are certainly ideas we\u2019ve floated around of what a third film could be if we get to make it. But until the movie comes out, we\u2019re a bit superstitious in that way. We don\u2019t want to count our chickens, because you never know what\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a separate interview with Gizmodo<\/a>, Coogler himself admitted that he had not yet \u201cthought about\u201d what the future holds in terms of further Black Panther movies.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen it comes to writing and directing, I\u2019m not the world\u2019s greatest multitasker,\u201d he said. \u201cI kind of got to do what is in front of me and be singular. When it comes to producing, I\u2019m more geared up to be able to do multiple things. And to plan things, I\u2019ve got a great production company and fantastic collaborators that can help move things along.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut when it comes to writing, and in this case, co-writing and directing, I\u2019ve got to finish what\u2019s in front of me and then and then think of all that is happening after that.\u201d<\/p>\n
It seems likely that we\u2019ll hear more concrete details about further Black Panther films in the weeks and months after Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is released, and we\u2019ll be posting any updates in here as and when they arrive \u2013 so do keep checking back for all the latest news.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, we do know that we\u2019ll be heading back to Wakanda for a Disney Plus<\/a> TV show, although further details about that series \u2013 including a title and a release date \u2013 are not yet available.<\/p>\nDanai Gurira will be reprising her role as Okoye in the series, with some reports suggesting that it could serve as an origin story for the character.<\/p>\n
Black Panther 3 release date speculation<\/strong><\/h2>\nWe\u2019re still a long way off from knowing a release date, but given that most of Marvel Studios\u2019 releases for the next couple of years have already been announced, we can safely assume that it will be rather a while until the next Black Panther movie arrives, if it does get the go-ahead as expected.<\/p>\n
It seems possible that we could have to wait until Phase 7 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe until we get a Black Panther 3, which could mean waiting until late 2026. That would be the same four-year wait as there was between the first two Black Panther films.<\/p>\n
That said, there are still three unannounced Phase 6 projects \u2013 currently earmarked for release on 25th July 2025, 7th November 2025, and 13th February 2026 respectively \u2013 so it\u2019s still possible Black Panther 3 could take one of those slots. We\u2019ll keep you updated with all the latest news right on this page.<\/p>\nBlack Panther 3 plot<\/strong><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s still far too early to make any grand pronouncements about what the plot of the next Black Panther film will be \u2013 even if a threequel is officially announced soon, specific plot details are likely to be kept under wraps until very close to its eventual release.<\/p>\n
However, there are plenty of directions a new film could go in, with the ending of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever leaving plenty of unanswered questions, particularly regarding the uneasy alliance that has been struck between Namor and the Wakandans.<\/p>\n
Towards the end of Wakanda Forever, Namor tells his cousin Namora that he\u2019s playing the long game, and one day the world will turn on Wakanda leaving Talokan as its only ally, so perhaps a third film could see this prediction come true.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also the matter of Toussiant, Nakia and T\u2019Challa\u2019s son who is introduced in the post-credits scene at the end of Wakanda Forever, explaining to Shuri that he is Prince T\u2019Challa, son of King T\u2019Challa. A third film seems very likely to focus on this character at least to some extent \u2013 although quite how big a role he will play is still up for debate at this point.<\/p>\n

Other stars who could be back include Martin Freeman as Everett Ross, Dominique Thorne\u00a0as\u00a0Riri Williams \/ Ironheart, Michaela Coel as Aneka, and Mabel Cadena as Namora, while there\u2019s also a chance that some characters from the previous Black Panther film such as Daniel Kaluuya\u2019s\u00a0W\u2019Kabi could return after sitting out this entry.<\/p>\n
And of course, with the MCU\u2019s list of characters growing at an increasingly fast rate, there\u2019s every chance that numerous other big-name stars \u2013 who are either already in the MCU or are set to join at some point in the future \u2013 could play a part as well. We\u2019ll post any updates here as and when we catch wind of them.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, one star who seems unlikely to return is Angela Bassett, after her character Ramonda was killed off in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.<\/p>\n
