In a recent panel discussion, acclaimed director Ryan Coogler announced that his next project will be Black Panther 3, after completing the original thriller 'Sinners'. Coogler explained that he felt compelled to step back from blockbuster franchises and biopics to make a whole-cloth original film that came directly from his creative heart.
The two-time Oscar nominee shared that the global filmgoing audience had given so much to him, and he wanted to give back. Coogler also revealed that he wanted at least one more opportunity to work with some of his favorite collaborators, as he could see their lives changing with age and responsibilities. "We were getting older. I mean, we're buying minivans and shit," he chuckled.
While initially cagey about confirming Black Panther 3, Coogler quickly relented and acknowledged that revisiting the Marvel superhero was next on his slate. "We're working on it hard," he said. "So it's next. Yes, it's the next movie."
