According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has quietly re-signed director Ryan Coogler to write and direct Black Panther 2.

Coogler was at the helm when Black Panther became a cultural icon and pulled in $1.3 Billion worldwide, so the move to bring him back is no surprise. Script writing will take place in 2019 and filming will begin between late 2019 and 2020.

Marvel’s plans after Spider-Man:Far From Home in July 2019 have not been solidified so the actual production schedule for Black Panther can change.

In the meantime, Coogler will be staying busy as he is the executive producer of Lebron James’ Space Jam 2, and Creed 2 as well as directing true story drama Wrong Answer, where he reunites with Michael B. Jordan.
