Marvel was clearly watching too, because Jonsson is the new Black Panther. All of it made him the kind of actor you build a decade of movies around, which is exactly what Marvel just asked him to do with Black Panther 3. Black Panther 3 lands exclusively in theaters on December 15, 2028, with Coogler back in the director’s chair after steering both previous films. Divine Love Konadu-Sun played him as a small boy in the final minutes of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the same scene that revealed his Wakandan name, T’Challa. Their presence matters beyond fan service, because the Black Panther mantle has already changed hands on screen once, and this film hands it over again.
