Ryan Coogler let the cat out of the bag, and he couldn’t help it.<\/p>\n
The two-time Oscar-nominated director was speaking Saturday at Deadline<\/em>‘s Contenders Film: Los Angeles, and the 39-year-old director fielded a question about his next film. The panelist, Deadline<\/em>‘s co-editor-in-chief Mike Fleming, asked Coogler, in declarative fashion, how quickly Coogler will begin working on Black Panther 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n “If it was anybody but you, I would say, ‘I can neither confirm or deny,'” Coogler told Fleming. \u201cBut we\u2019re working on it hard. \u2026 Yeah, it’s the next movie.”<\/p>\n Coogler’s confirmation drew a round of applause.<\/p>\n For some time now, rumors have been flying that Coogler was returning for the third installment, after directing Black Panther<\/em> and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/em>.<\/p>\n In fact, it was Denzel Washington, who, in November 2024, accidentally shared<\/a> with a reporter in Australia that Coogler was writing a part for him.<\/p>\n No word yet on the trilogy’s plot. Chadwick Boseman portrayed T’Challa in the first film, which premiered in 2018. Wakanda Forever<\/em> paid homage to Boseman, who died of colon cancer in 2020.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Men’s Journal<\/a> on Nov 15, 2025, where it first appeared in the Entertainment<\/a> section.
