Ryan Coogler took the stage during Marvel Studios\u2019 massive Hall H panel<\/a> at San Diego Comic-Con 2026<\/a>, where he revealed that he will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to direct a third Black Panther\u00a0film, exclusively in theaters on December 15, 2028. Joined by Letitia Wright, A.K.A. Shuri<\/a>, and Winston Duke, A.K.A. M’Baku<\/a>, Coogler announced that David Jonsson (The Long Walk, Alien: Romulus) will be the new Black Panther in the upcoming film.<\/p>\n

Upon introducing Jonsson, Coogler shared further details about the character he’ll be playing. “The last time we got to make a movie, we introduced a character who is the son of the character that the great Chadwick Boseman played, our T\u2019Challa<\/a>, in that film. And today, I want to tell you that in this next film, he grows up [and] he comes of age.”<\/p>\n

Jonsson stepped out to a standing ovation from the crowd. “I want to say thank you so much,” he told the audience. “Thank you Ryan, thank you Kevin [Feige], thank you to this amazing family that I have the honor and the privilege and the blessing to join. I actually don\u2019t want to say too much because I want to let the screen do the talking. But believe me, the honor is entirely mine.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wakanda forever.\u00a0 Ryan Coogler took the stage during Marvel Studios\u2019 massive Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":826460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49,48,75,337],"class_list":["post-826459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=826459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/826460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=826459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=826459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=826459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
