Black Panther 3 Confirmed By Marvel Studios For 2028 At SDCC
Marvel Studios has officially announced 'Black Panther 3' for a December 2028 release, with Ryan Coogler returning to direct. David Jonsson has been cast as the new Black Panther, playing the grown son of T'Challa.
Why it matters
As a major franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this announcement impacts long-term Hollywood production schedules and fan engagement.
Black Panther 3 is official, and Ryan Coogler will be back to direct the film. Marvel Studios is holding its SDCC Hall H extravaganza as we speak, and the film was announced on stage with a release date of December 15, 2028. That would likely mean that it will go in front of cameras next year. Also confirmed at the panel is that T'Challa's son, now played by David Jonsson, is the new Black Panther. Also on stage were Winston Duke and Letitia Wright, so it stands to reason they will be back in this third film.
