Marvel confirmed Black Panther 3 for December 15, 2028, with Ryan Coogler directing and writing. British actor David Jonsson will play T’Challa’s adult son, Toussaint, who takes up the Black Panther mantle for the first time as a recast since Chadwick Boseman’s death in 2020. The film will follow the grown son of T’Challa and Nakia, with Letitia Wright returning as Shuri and Winston Duke as M’Baku, and it will be shot on 70mm. The end of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever introduced Toussaint as T’Challa’s son, fueling speculation about the time jump and the character’s maturation. The announcement sparked excitement about a new Black Panther era and a revived trilogy path, with rumors about crossovers or connections to other MCU developments continuing to circulate in coverage.
