Marvel Rumor Gives Black Panther 3 A Premiere Window And I So Hope It's Legit
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a well-oiled machine, and fans are constantly treated to new content in theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. One of the most highly anticipated upcoming Marvel movies is Ryan Coogler's Black Panther 3, which is still in its earliest stages of development. A new rumor claims to know when it'll hit theaters, and I really hope it's true.
Those who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order will know that some franchises stand out as fan favorites. Black Panther is definitely in that category, which is why fans are so eager to see what comes next after Wakanda Forever's ending. In a new episode of The Hot Mic, scooper Jeff Sneider offered a timeline about that developing threequel. He offered:
Black Panther 3, that's February 2028. That's going to start production at the top of 2027. And that will be in theaters February 2028.
Well, that's exciting. While just a rumor at this point, this offers an actual timeline about when we should expect Coogler's third Black Panther movie to film and eventually hit theaters. Since almost nothing about that project has been revealed to the general public, this is sure to promptly go viral.

As previously mentioned, we're pretty much in the dark for the next big screen adventure in Wakanda. Coogler and company have been keeping their cards close to the chest, although Denzel Washington revealed he's expected to have a role in the blockbuster. Although exactly who he might play in Black Panther 3 is a total mystery.
Given how little progress has been made so far, a February 2028 release date seems reasonable for Coogler's threequel. We'll just have to wait and see if/when this schedule is confirmed by the studio.
Narratively, there are plenty of threads to pull from with a third Black Panther movie. The first sequel ended with Shuri becoming the next Panther, but not taking the throne. It was heavily implied that M'Baku might become king, but Wakanda Forever's credits scene revealed that T'Challa and Nakia had a secret son. As such, he might have his own claim to the throne.
We might have to wait a few years to see another BP movie, but connections to Wakanda continue to be part of the MCU. The animated series Eyes of Wakanda is on Disney+ now, and the Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement confirmed Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, and Tenoch Huerta Mejía would be reprising their roles as Shuri, M'Baku, and Namor, respectively.
All will be revealed when Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18th, 2026, as part of the 2026 movie release list. Let's just hope that we get information about the future of the Black Panther franchise sooner rather than later.

I'll miss the chaos of 'And Just like That...' (and Che Diaz too)
The executives at HBO Max have ripped away so many good things from us, and their most recent offense is ending And Just Like That... too soon. If I had my way, the show would be pried from my cold, dead hands, and I'd devour at minimum six more seasons of this Sex and the City sequel. But just like all good (or not so good) things, they must come to an end, and tonight's victim was AJLT. The studio heads gifted us with 10 episodes this season, making us believe at first that we had a long future to look forward to with these characters. However, the recent announcement that the third season would be the show's last forced us to say goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) once again. In a statement posted August 1 to social media, showrunner Michael Patrick King wrote that he, SJP (who also serves as an executive producer), Sarah Aubrey (head of HBO Max Originals), and Casey Bloys (CEO of HBO Max) all decided to end the series with a two-part finale. "SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season," the statement reads. "It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years." The series finale aired on HBO Max tonight, and the ending was serviceable. We got each character's storylines wrapped up in a hastily made bow, and the ending you would expect — Carrie Bradshaw, AKA "The Woman," chose to bet on herself. But, as Carrie shimmied her way out of frame in her Gramercy Park oasis, I couldn't help but feel two things were missing: Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) and the unmitigated joy of the chaos that came in the show's first season. Sarah Jessica Parker on 'And Just Like That'Courtesy of HBO Max The reason people loved to hate the show was that it was a cringe-fest with all of our favorite characters right in the center, not too dissimilar to AJLT's prequel series, Sex and the City. Carrie was the epitome of chaos — as evidenced in this InStyle Magazine op-ed about how entertainingly tumultuous she was in the original series. "She's been dubbed a terrible friend, borderline stalker, and worst of all, cringe," the writer argued. "But all those internet critics miss one important point: Say what you will about her values, but a selfish, neurotic Carrie Bradshaw makes for great TV." And on this note, I agree. Maybe in your middle age, you care more about society's perception of you, but erasing all of the main character's self-assuredness dulls the show. When the show's main characters (sans Samantha, played by Kim Cattrall) graced the streets of New York once again, the writers threw everything at the wall. As many people have noted, the show felt like it was trying to import these ladies directly from 2006 into 2022, and we watched as they stumbled their way through the major cultural shifts we've seen take place over the last 20 years. Sarah Jessica Parker on 'And Just Like That'Courtesy of HBO Max The core group of women aged, they made new friends, their relationships were tested time and time again, and they also learned a lot about themselves. Enter Che Diaz, who became Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) gay sexual awakening in the reboot's first season. Ever since they entered the SATCEU (Sex and the City extended universe), I couldn't stop thinking about them, and I wish they had more time together before falling victim to online vitriol. Everywhere you turned, there was discourse about the annoying nonbinary character on AJLT — so much so that you would've thought they slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. Che was the victim of blatant homophobia, and in the words of the late SATCEU character, Lexi Featherson, "No one's fun anymore. Whatever happened to fun? God, I'm so bored, I could die," except in this case, I'm not falling out of a window 18 stories up. Yeah, they were cringe. Yeah, they weren't the best comedian. Yes, they were kinda awful to Miranda. And were they not funny on Carrie's podcast (remember Carrie podcasting?), also yes! But we all need to remember, fictional queer people can be bad people too, and it's entertaining to watch. Live a little! Alas, we have to say goodbye to this outrageous and confusingly dressed show again. But Parker insists that it's not a goodbye, but a farewell. She's learned not to be final about Carrie and the SATCEU, and I hope this means that if we do get more from these ladies (and nonbinary individuals — you too, Rock), they lean more into the camp and less into Carrie's fictional novel journey.
