Black Panther 3: New Wakanda (2026) – First Trailer | Will Smith Joins the MCU in a Game-Changing Role

Marvel Studios Officially Confirms Black Panther 3 After Denzel Washington Reveals His Role

Marvel Studios has officially confirmed the development of Black Panther 3, just days after Denzel Washington revealed that a role was being written for him in the highly anticipated sequel. Following the success of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which poignantly honored Chadwick Boseman and T’Challa, Marvel is now focusing on the future of the franchise. While the film paid tribute to the late actor, the next chapter of Wakanda promises to bring new challenges and characters into the fold.

Marvel Studios’ executive Nate Moore, who has been with the company since 2010, will be involved in Black Panther 3 as the project continues under the direction of Ryan Coogler. While Moore is transitioning out of his role at Marvel after Captain America: Brave New World in 2025, he expressed his excitement about working on Black Panther 3. “I feel lucky to have worked with such a passionate team at Marvel, and I can’t wait to apply my experience to the next chapter of Wakanda,” Moore said.

The announcement of Black Panther 3 has set the stage for a thrilling continuation of the Black Panther saga. Although no official release date has been set, the film is expected to explore the evolving world of Wakanda, possibly delving into multiverse-related themes or exploring the aftermath of the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars.

Following Wakanda Forever‘s introduction of Shuri as the new Black Panther and the revelation of the young Prince T’Challa, there’s plenty of potential for expanding the story. The Black Panther franchise has proven to be a key pillar in the MCU, with additional spin-offs and series, including a Wakanda-centered show, already in the works.

With major talent like Denzel Washington teasing a role in the sequel, it’s clear that Black Panther 3 is already shaping up to be a must-watch in the MCU. The confirmation of the film further proves that the world of Wakanda has only just begun to be explored in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans can expect a star-studded cast, an exciting storyline, and a continuation of the groundbreaking work done by Ryan Coogler and his team.
