Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther hits theaters on February 14, 2018, tonight on TMC. With a budget of $200 million, the first opus about the African superhero, then played by Chadwick Boseman, earned $1.34 billion worldwide.
The action of the feature film took place after the events of Captain America: Civil War. T’Challa returns home to take his place on the throne of Wakanda, a technologically advanced African nation. But when an old enemy resurfaces, T’Challa’s mettle is tested as a ruler and as Black Panther. He finds himself in a conflict that threatens not only the fate of Wakanda, but the fate of the entire world…
After the success of this film, Marvel quickly announced a sequel, still directed by Ryan Coogler. But in August 2020, Chadwick Boseman died of colon cancer. Therefore, the film was stopped and the script was completely rewritten.
Hence, it will be necessary to wait 4 years to see the sequel called Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The feature film will honor the tragically deceased actor and introduce a new Black Panther.
Warning, the rest of this article contains spoilers for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
It’s Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri, T’Challa’s sister, who dons her dead brother’s costume. Post-Covid, Wakanda Forever grossed $859 million at the international box office.
Will Black Panther return?
The most patient viewers already know this since the post-credits scene announced: Black Panther will return. In case we didn’t know if the suggestion meant the superhero would be back in the post-Avengers movies or a solo film, Leticia Wright apparently sold the fuse last January.
he asked variety On the red carpet at the Golden Globes, during which Angela Bassett accepted the Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Queen Ramonda, the young actress teased Black Panther 3.
to the question “When will Black Panther 3 get the green light from Marvel?“, – answered the interpreter of Shuri:I think this is already happening“. before adding: “You know, we just had two great years and everyone came together to support Wakanda forever. We need a little break, we need to regroup, and Ryan needs to go back to his lab to think. So it’s going to take a while, but we’re really looking forward to it.”
So the Black Panther 3 movie is well planned but we still don’t know when the feature film will be released.
But Wakanda’s future is also being played out on the small screen. Producer Nate Moore announced last November that several series centered around the fictional Marvel universe were being studied by Disney+.
Two of them have already been ordered: Ironheart (which just wrapped filming), which follows Riri Williams (Dominic Thorne), and another about Dora Milaje boss Okoye, still played by Danai Gurira.
These will be spin-offs with characters from the movies, but also with new characters. That’s why Marvel plans to develop the Black Panther universe in both streaming and cinema.
