Jonsson will play T&#8217;Challa&#8217;s son, Prince T&#8217;Challa II, continuing the late Chadwick Boseman&#8217;s legacy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More from Variety<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I trust him as an artist. I also trust the people who chose him,&#8221; Winston told Variety about Jonsson joining the franchise. &#8220;I trust Ryan [Coogler]. I trust the entire MCU executive team. I think it&#8217;s going to be great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Black Panther&#8221; was Duke&#8217;s first film, and he said he hopes to create a similarly welcoming experience for Jonsson. &#8220;How I was greeted and received into this world \u2013 which was with a lot of grace, being told it&#8217;s a safe space to work, to play \u2014 that&#8217;s what I wanted to extend to him,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any advice. I know what I have to do with him, which is to play with him. I have to trust him. I have to give him the same grace that was extended to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ryan Coogler will return to direct the film following &#8220;Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,&#8221; with Leticia Wright reprising her role as Shuri.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Winston will also appear as M&#8217;Baku in the highly anticipated &#8220;Avengers: Doomsday,&#8221; which premieres Dec. 18. The film&#8217;s trailer has been viewed 503 million times since being released on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;What I know is that we have their attention,&#8221; Winston said when asked about fans&#8217; interest in the future of the MCU. &#8220;I think we have their attention because of so much trust that they have for the MCU. We&#8217;ve created and delivered so many movies over the years, and it&#8217;s never about any one director. It&#8217;s about the cohort.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The first &#8220;Black Panther&#8221; film released in 2018 and earned $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office, also receiving seven Oscar nominations and three wins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Best of Variety<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a data-ylk=\"slk:Variety&#039;s Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.variety.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Variety&#8217;s Newsletter<\/a>.
