Yes, Marvel Is Working on Black Panther 3

Scream 7‘s cast just can’t stop growing. David Harbour finds a reason for the season in a sequel to Violent Night. Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega face magical wrath in the first trailer for Death of a Unicorn. Plus, a new clip from Sonic 3. Spoilers now!

Black Panther 3

Marvel quietly announced a third Black Panther movie is officially moving forward in a press release on the departure of company executive Nate Moore.

Nate is a fantastic executive and colleague as well as a wonderful friend to all of us here at Marvel Studios. He has been a core member of our team since 2010, and his influence will continue to reverberate in our storytelling. Although we’ll miss him a great deal, we look forward to watching what he does next while also having the good fortune of working with him in a new way on our next Black Panther movie.
