Back in November 2022, Ryan Coogler and Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige spoke about a potential third chapter of the franchise. At the time, Coogler said that he definitivelyhad no idea what he wasdoing next as a writer and director.

But Feige interrupted and said thathe is in conversationswith Coogler about a third 'Black Panther'film and they're pitching ideasback and forth.

When asked whether he would ever consider making a sequelwithout Coogler, Feige said, "I go back to what I said when we decided to make ‘Wakanda Forever’ after losing Chad. This mythology and this ensemble and these characters deserve to continue and will continue after all of us are gone, I hope, and will continue forever in movies the way it has in comics for 50-plus years."

However, Feige stated that working without Coogler "wouldn’t be the preference".
