A third Black Panther movie has been confirmed by Marvel Studios, though plot details are being kept under wraps at the moment. The announcement wasn’t made with excitement but strangely enough, by an executive at Marvel Studios who stated that his last project with the company would be Black Panther 3 before his departure.
As reported by Deadline, Marvel Studios’ vice president of production and development Nate Moore basically confirmed Black Panther 3 in his statement announcing his departure from the company. “I feel lucky to have worked with a group of people who love filmmaking and storytelling as much as my Marvel colleagues and the cast and crew of our films,” said Moore. “But I couldn’t be more excited to apply my experience and passion for film towards theatrical movies in all genres, including returning to the world of Wakanda for Black Panther 3.”
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and co-president Louis D’Esposito basically confirmed the movie afterwards, stating, “Although we’ll miss [Moore] a great deal, we look forward to watching what he does next while also having the good fortune of working with him in a new way on our next Black Panther movie.”
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever released in 2022 and while it wasn’t as critically acclaimed as its predecessor, it still managed to be a notable box office success, raking in $850 million worldwide. The sequel’s plot description reads:
“Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje fight to protect the kingdom of Wakanda from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia and Everett Ross and forge a new path for their nation.”
In the gaming world, EA announced that it’s developing a Black Panther game in July 2023 which will be a single-player experience. Its new studio, Cliffhanger Games, will lead development.
