Marvel announces release date for highly-anticipated Black Panther sequel

Marvel has announced that the yet-to-be-titled Black Panther sequel, which will be directed by Ryan Coogler, is set to release on July 8, 2022.

The first Black Panther movie made headlines when it premiered in 2018, as it featured a predominantly African-American cast and crew.

In addition to the release date, no further details have been released about the Black Panther sequel. However, rumors have it that the movie will explore deeper the world of Wakanda and some of Black Panther’s supporting characters such as Okoye (Danai Gurira) and Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o).
