Black Panther 3 Release Date Rumors: When Is It Coming Out?

Black Panther 3 release date has been on the minds of fans following the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which saw T’Challa die early in the film and his sister Shuri taking his place as both the ruler of Wakanda and the new Black Panther, following a battle against Namor the Sub-Mariner.

Here’s all the Black Panther 3 release date information we know so far and all the details on when it is coming out.

Is there a Black Panther 3 release date?

As of this writing, Black Panther 3 does not have an official release date. Moreover, fans should not expect Black Panther 3 to release at least until 2026. 

Black Panther 3 does not have an official release date because development work for the film has not yet begun. As per Marvel Studios producer Nate Moore, only discussions are happening at the moment. Moreover, it’s likely the team behind the first two Black Panther films is not rushing to develop a third film, especially after suffering a series of setbacks during the production of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

As for the 2026 timeframe, it is because of the four-year gap between the release of the first Black Panther film in 2018 and Wakanda Forever in 2022. Moreover, there is an empty Marvel release slot for February 13, 2026, which could likely be filled by Black Panther 3. 

This date is an estimate based on information available at the time of this writing.

There isn’t much known about the cast of Black Panther 3 except that the film will likely bring back Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, and Winston Duke to reprise their roles of Shuri, Okoye, and M’Baku. It is also possible that Lupita Nyong’o and Divine Love Konadu-Sun will reprise their roles of Nakia and T’Challa II/Toussaint. 

Where is Black Panther 3 coming out?

Black Panther 3 is not expected to come out in theaters anytime soon.

It will be interesting to see what kind of story will be followed by Black Panther 3, given how Wakanda Forever ended with Shuri and Namor forming a truce to ensure peace between each other’s kingdoms. Perhaps the potential third film could see Shuri dealing with the challenges of ruling Wakanda and being the mantle holder of the Black Panther.
