Rumor: Black Panther 2 Eying Michael B. Jordan & Donald Glover [Updated]

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Rumor has it Michael B. Jordan and Donald Glover may be part of the casting forBlack Panther 2 . Marvel kicked off 2018 torecord breaking successeven beforeAvengers : eternity Warhit theaters . Ryan Coogler directed the first episode of Chadwick Boseman ’s franchise to swell succeeder thanks to the robust world of Wakanda and one of the MCU ’s best baddie . The film presently gas a $ 1.3 billion worldwide gross and has made fans eager to see what else the enfranchisement will hold .

Even though Marvel Studios has n’t officially annunciate thatBlack Panther 2is happening , it most definitely is . They seem to be all - in on Coogler with Kevin Feige indicating they ’d possibly expect to do a subsequence until Coogler could do it . Where the story could potentially go is very ill-defined and will stay so untilAvengers 4hits theater , but the continuation may be lining up another all - star mould .

Metro.co.ukis account their sources have exclusively shared with them that Coogler is difficult at work crafting the sequel and already has created a number of new characters . They are being told that Coogler is have " informal talk of the town " with Donald Glover about taking on one of the roles . Not only that , but they say that a return of Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger is also being discussed . All of this should be taken with a major food grain of salinity and would arouse some intriguing questions if prove to be true .

UPDATE : The Wrap’sUmberto Gonzaleztweeted that there is"No Sojourner Truth whatsoever"to this hearsay .

Starting with the possible casting of Donald Glover inBlack Panther 2 , it is easy to sympathize why Coogler would want to drift him . Glover ’s star has never shined brighter than it is properly now thanks toAtlanta , his " This Is America " music video , and what looks like a setting - stealing role inSolo : A Star Wars Story . However , Glover is already involved in the MCU . Glover made his debut last year inSpider - Man : Homecomingas Aaron Davis , the uncle to Miles Morales . He would n’t be the first actor to play multiple roles in the MCU , but he ’d certainly be the biggest name and character to do so .

Bringing back Michael B. Jordan though is interesting on a number of levels . Coogler has been adamantine thatKillmonger was always going to dieinBlack Panther . There ’s also been lot of hesitation about possibly bringing him back as it could take away from the first motion picture ’s ending . However , there ’s a figure of ways Killmonger could return . Even though he burned all of the heart - shape herbs , it is potential T’Challa could see his cousinin the transmissible plane . We also ca n’t dismiss the fact thatAvengers 4could terminate with a all shift timeline , mayhap even one where T’Chaka did n’t drink down Killmonger ’s father , resulting a wholly different upbringing .

Considering the source of this report card , it is best to not get hopes too high that either one of these will bechance . After all , Black Panther 2is still a few years away so things could change dramatically even if these conversation are presently happening . We ’ll just have to wait and see whether or not these rumors bend into something real .
