David Jonsson is set to become the new Black Panther, taking on the role in the upcoming “Black Panther 3” movie. This announcement was made by Director Ryan Coogler during Marvel’s panel at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Jonsson will portray T’Challa’s son in the film, which is scheduled for release on December 15, 2028. Coogler will be returning to direct this third installment of the series, maintaining his role as a key figure in the franchise’s success.

Excitement at Comic-Con

During the Comic-Con panel, Jonsson, appearing alongside Coogler, expressed his gratitude. “Thank you to this amazing family that I have the honor and the privilege and the blessing to join,” he said, opting to let the film speak for itself.

The announcement was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience, marking an exciting moment for Marvel fans.

Legacy of Chadwick Boseman

In the second film, Prince T’Challa II was introduced briefly. The third film will expand his character’s story, focusing on his journey to adulthood and his rise to leadership.
