News Black Panther 3 Ryan Coogler’s Next Movie Will Be Black Panther 3 Coogler is also working on an X-Files series. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on November 17, 2025 Image: Marvel Studios / Disney Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Marvel Studios / Disney Ryan Coogler’s latest movie, Sinners, has justifiably received critical and commercial acclaim. The writer-director isn’t taking much of a break, however, and is already reportedly working on an X-Files TV series. But what movie he’ll be working on next was unclear… until yesterday. Coogler took part in a Sinners panel at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles yesterday. During that discussion, the moderator asked if he was working on Black Panther 3. This was his answer: “If it was anybody but you, I would say, ‘I can neither confirm nor deny,’” he said. “But we’re working on it hard… Yeah, it’s the next movie.” The third film in the trilogy would come after 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which came out roughly two years after Chadwick Boseman, who played the Black Panther, T’Challa, died. The film grappled with Boseman/T’Challa’s death on-screen, and saw Shuri (Letitia Wright) take on the mantle. We don’t have any details about Black Panther 3’s story, though Denzel Washington shared that he is expected to have a part in the film. When the feature will go into production is also unclear, given that Coogler is presumably still working on the X-Files series. Hopefully the wait won’t be too long, however, before the third film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe trilogy makes its way to theaters.
