16 Nov
Summary
- Coogler confirms Black Panther 3 will be his next movie
- But he's also working on an X-Files TV show, which may come first
- Timing of Black Panther 3 remains uncertain, with rumors of 2028 release
In November 2025, acclaimed director Ryan Coogler is facing a dilemma as he navigates his upcoming projects. While the success of his recent film Sinners has generated excitement for his next move, Coogler is being coy about his plans.
When asked about Black Panther 3, Coogler acknowledged that it will be his next movie, but he also revealed that he is currently working on a highly anticipated X-Files TV show. This suggests that the X-Files project may take precedence, potentially pushing the release of Black Panther 3 to as late as 2028.
Coogler's comments indicate that he is juggling multiple commitments, with the X-Files show described as his "immediate next" project. This raises questions about the timeline for the long-awaited Black Panther sequel, which has been rumored to enter production in 2027 for a possible early 2028 release.
Despite the uncertainty, Coogler's fans remain eager to see what he has in store, whether it's the return to the world of Wakanda or a new take on the beloved X-Files franchise. As the director continues to navigate his busy schedule, audiences will have to wait and see which project takes priority in the coming years.
