It’s time everyone recognized Ryan Coogler as a truly exceptional filmmaker – if they haven’t already. The director of films like Creed and Black Panther is a genuine talent in Hollywood and beyond.
The young director’s film Sinners broke records with 16 awards, and at the same time, his popular movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is once again becoming a hit on streaming services around the world.
The movie, released in 2022, was a huge success, earning $859.2 million globally. Critics and audiences loved it, giving it an 84% ‘Fresh’ rating and a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It skillfully continued the story and beautifully honored the legacy of Chadwick Boseman.
With Ryan Coogler likely to win many Oscars for his film Sinners, a lot of Marvel fans are watching Black Panther: Wakanda Forever again. It’s currently the third most-watched title on Disney+ as February nears.
This announcement couldn’t have come at a better time for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, perfectly positioning it for the upcoming 2026 releases of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday.
The film also keeps the spotlight firmly on Damson Idris, well-known for his acclaimed role in the Hulu series Snowfall and his recent appearance alongside Brad Pitt in F1: The Movie. Many Marvel fans are already hoping he’ll be cast as the next Black Panther, and some have even shared exciting ideas about how that could happen.
Damson Idris’ MCU Debut in Black Panther 3?
Details about the future of the Black Panther series are still scarce, but the news we do have is huge. Director Ryan Coogler hasn’t said much about Damson Idris’s potential involvement, however, it has been confirmed that Denzel Washington will be in the third Black Panther movie.
The new film is said to be called Black Panther: Shadows of Wakanda and is currently planned for release in 2028. This timing suggests the story will pick up after the events of both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, with Shuri and the people of Wakanda facing the consequences of those conflicts.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating Ryan Coogler’s next Marvel movie. There’s a lot of hope that ideas from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be used in Black Panther 3. One thing’s for sure: when the third movie is released, it will likely be the most-watched content on Disney+, just like the first two films were.
