Black Panther will be ready to pounce in 2022.
The Marvel film about Wakanda did exceptionally well at the box office, earning over $1.3 billion worldwide, and even scooped up 3 Academy Awards while becoming the first superhero film ever to receive a Best Picture nomination.
Director Ryan Coogler will now attempt to repeat the feat with Black Panther 2.
Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Forrest Whitaker, Danai Gurira, and Angela Bassett are expected to return for the sequel.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige said that Coogler has delivered a treatment, complete with a villain and new title.
“We’re not taking our time, we’re really trying to get it right,” the director said of the production schedule.
Black Panther 2 will hit theatres on May 6th, 2022.
