Marvel’s Black Panther 3: Will T’Challa Return? Latest Updates and Fan Reactions

Marvel fans, brace yourselves! The future of Wakanda and the Black Panther mantle has taken a new turn as reports flood in regarding the fate of T’Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) closing out Phase Four, fans continue to debate whether the decision to retire T’Challa after Chadwick Boseman’s tragic passing was the right move. Now, new speculation suggests that Marvel Studios may be rethinking its approach to the beloved Wakandan king.

Boseman’s portrayal of T’Challa left an indelible mark on the MCU, making his untimely passing in 2020 a devastating loss. Out of respect, Marvel Studios opted not to recast the role, a decision that sparked a heated debate among fans. While some appreciated this as a tribute to the late actor, others saw it as a misstep that limited the character’s legacy. The controversy even led to a movement calling it “the biggest attack in Marvel history,” with some fans threatening to boycott Wakanda Forever.

Despite this, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever still managed to earn an impressive $859 million at the global box office—though it fell short of its predecessor’s $1.346 billion. The movie introduced new characters and expanded Wakanda’s story, but many wondered if the Black Panther mantle would ever return to its original bearer in some form.

Black Panther 3 is Officially in Development

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has confirmed that Black Panther 3 is on the way. While producer Nate Moore, who played a pivotal role in Wakanda Forever, is set to leave Marvel after Captain America: Brave New World (2025), he will oversee the new installment before his exit. However, a major twist might be in store.

According to insider reports, Marvel is considering reintroducing T’Challa through a Multiversal twist, allowing a new actor to take on the role during the MCU’s upcoming Multiverse Saga finale. This would likely happen in Avengers: Secret Wars (2027), directed by the Russo Brothers, which follows Avengers: Doomsday (2026). The latter film is rumored to feature Robert Downey Jr.’s grand return to the MCU as Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom, possibly setting the stage for an even bigger comeback in Secret Wars.
