Letitia Wright is only a month or so shy of finally being done with her press duties from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever so she may not have been on her guard on the Golden Globes red carpet tonight when asked about the future of the franchise — and she may just have shined the green light for the third Panther installment for all the world to see.
When asked by Variety when we might get Black Panther 3 greenlit, Wright replied, “I think it’s already in the works.” Wright added that the massive undertaking of Wakanda Forever has the whole team in need of a break and that director Ryan Coogler would need to head “back to the lab” before any new production could start.
“It’s gonna take a while, but really excited for you guys to see that,” Wright added.
Wright will likely be involved more heavily in a third Panther film than she has ever been before now that her character Shuri has fractured shoulder and a concussion while filming a stunt during the Wakanda Forever shoot and the production had to work around her absence while she spent several months recovering from the injuries.
It will likely be a long wait between now and the future project and it will probably even take at least a year and perhaps longer before the cast and crew are announced but fans will certainly celebrate the fact that a new installment is currently in the Marvel Studios pipeline.
Wakanda Forever is already a winner at the 2023 Golden Globes with Angela Bassett taking home the prize for her ing role in the movie.
