Marvel Studios Confirms 'Black Panther' Sequel (Obviously), Already Hiring More Diverse Filmmakers

If you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, then you probably wouldn't know that Black Panther has become a zeitgeist that extends beyond just movies. The film is now a pop culture force to be reckoned with, so it comes as no surprise that Marvel is preparing a sequel to double down on that magic!

The film studio confirmed they are working on a follow-up in a feature with Entertainment Weekly. "Nothing specific to reveal, other than to say we absolutely will do that. One of the favorite pastimes at Marvel Studios is sitting around on a Part One and talking and dreaming about what we would do in a Part Two," Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, revealed. "There have been plenty of those conversations as we were putting together the first Black Panther. We have ideas and a pretty solid direction on where we want to head with the second one." While this isn't surprising news, it is exciting to know that we'll be able to see even more of Wakanda in the future.
