Black Panther 2is officially happening, and Marvel Studios presidentKevin Feigetook the stage at D23 earlier today to announce the film’s release date: August 24, 2025. Joining Feige onstage wasBlack Pantherwriter/directorRyan Coogler, who is returning to write and direct the sequel.
Feige revealed that Coogler has delivered a treatment for the sequel, but it appears we’ve still got a long way to go until the film rolls cameras. Indeed, Coogler is also currently busy producingSpace Jam 2so this gives him a bit of time, butBlack Panther 2is certainly a priority for Marvel as the first film not only outgrossedAvengers: Infinity Warat the box office but scored a trio of Oscar wins along with a Best Picture nomination. Can that success be repeated?
Story details forBlack Panther 2are firmly under wraps, but we can safely assumeChadwick Boseman,Danai Gurira, andLetitia Wrightwill return, and one imaginesLupita Nyong’owill be back as well given that she played a major role in the storyline.
On that May 2022 dateBlack Panther 2currently has no competition, and it’s being given the same big debut slot that previously housed Marvel’sAvengersmovies. Now May isn’texclusivelyforAvengersmovies—it’s also whenIron Man 3andGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2were released—but it’s a big month normally reserved for major projects.
you may check out a photo of Feige and Coogler announcingBlack Panther 2below, but again this one is still a ways off. With a script not yet completed, the earliest filming might begin would be towards the end of 2020, but more likely a 2021 production start date is being eyed. No matter, Marvel has its hands full in the meantime.
