Production
With the release of Black Panther, Kevin Feige said "there are many, many stories to tell" about the character, and that he wanted Ryan Coogler to return for any potential sequel.[1] Feige later confirmed a sequel saying "Nothing specific to reveal, other than to say we absolutely will do that".[2] and the said sequel will happen when Coogler is ready and wants it to happen.[3] Coogler said that he wanted to see how T'Challa would grow as a king in future films, since his reign only began recently in the MCU, while in the comics, he has been king since childhood.[4] In October 2018, Coogler closed a deal to write and direct a sequel to Black Panther.[5]
On August 28, 2020, Chadwick Boseman passed away after a four-year battle with colon cancer.[6]
