Ryan Coogler has confirmed that his next directing project will be the third Black Panther film — a superhero action set in the secret nation of Wakanda. He made the revelation during a panel at Contenders Film: Los Angeles. Production has only just begun, and industry sources expect principal photography to kick off in early 2027, with a theatrical release penciled in for February 2028.

It appears Marvel’s leadership has placed significant trust in Coogler’s vision — especially following the strong theatrical performance of Sinners.
