Marvel is making good on its promise that Wakanda is forever, as the studio moves forward on the second Black Panther following the first's massive 2018 box office haul and seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. The sequel's future was initially in doubt following the tragic death of 43-year-old star Chadwick Boseman in August 2020 after a four-year battle with colon cancer. But on December 10, 2020, the official Disney+ Twitter confirmed plans for the next installment, tweeting, "Black Panther 2, opening July 8, 2022, is being written & directed by Ryan Coogler. Honoring Chadwick Boseman’s legacy & portrayal of T’Challa, @MarvelStudios."
