Read what Moore says below:
That’s a great question. To be fair, this is not my attempt at not answering the question. We really want to see how the audience receives the movie, and I think Ryan is really interested in seeing how the movie plays out before we make a decision. There are definitely ideas that we’ve been floating around about what a third movie could be if we got to make it. But until the movie comes out, we’re kind of superstitious that way. We don’t want to count our chickens because you never know what’s going to happen.
What Black Panther 3 could be about
Moore’s comments about Black Panther 3 ideas being put forward indicate that the threequel is only in the very early stages of development and has not yet been officially ordered. Still, this must be a good sign for Black Panther: Wakanda forever, which brings positive early response and is expected to have a huge opening weekend for the MCU. Other than a possible Black Panther 3, Wakanda forever introduces Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams and will launch her upcoming solo series on Disney+, iron heart. There are also several series in Wakanda in development for Disney+.
Of Wakanda forever seemingly introducing Shuri as the next Black Panther, a third film could potentially continue to focus on her experience as a female Black Panther. Given the rumors of Doctor Doom appearing in… Black Panther 2which Moore has debunked, there has been some speculation that Black Panther 3 will focus on Doom invading Wakanda. There’s also a chance that a third film will introduce a variation of T’Challa, which many fans have been asking for in recent months. Whatever Black Panther 3 is potentially over, the world of Wakanda has become an important part of the MCU, and it’s here to stay for the foreseeable future.
