At D23, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed that Ryan Coogler's
Black Panther 2 will be released on May 6th, 2020. There's a lot of excitement surrounding the sequel, particularly after the first instalment grossed well over $1 billion and ended up being nominated for a "Best Picture" Oscar.
However, it could be a while before we hear anything concrete about what to expect from this one.
During a recent interview, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that Coogler is
"just beginning the process of outlining the story" after signing up to write and direct over the summer.
Previously, Martin Freeman has said that he's expecting shooting to start in 2021 so that gives Coogler plenty of time to finish the script and have the sequel ready for that prime May release date. That's a slot which Marvel Studios has previously reserved for
Avengers movies, and the expectation from fans is that
Black Panther 2 will be a huge movie, potentially with some A-List cameos.

10. Sebastian Stan Was Only On The Black Panther Set For One Day
"The tag scene with Bucky [played by Sebastian Stan] at the end of the movie came as a wonderful surprise to me," explains Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri in Black Panther. "I was so happy when I read about it. Props to Ryan [Coogler] for adding it to the movie."
"This scene was shot quite late in the production, but I really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful day on set and I thought it was a great way for us to find out where Bucky had been hiding in Wakanda. We shot the scene in a forest area somewhere in Atlanta, but it only took a day. Sebastian was really great to work with. He’s a good chap."
