In Black Panther 3, Wakanda awaits once again. Both the 2018 original and its sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, were box office and critical hits. The first film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It took home three Oscars and still stands as the third highest-grossing Marvel film, according to Box Office Mojo.

Filmmaker Ryan Coogler has officially confirmed what fans have been speculating for months, legendary actor Denzel Washington will be joining the Black Panther franchise.

The rumors linking Gosling to Black Panther are a little bit more difficult to explain. It all started with a meme of Gosling's photoshopped face in Black Panther's body. While it clearly wasn't serious, the comic books have taken an interesting turn, with the first issue of " Marvel Knights: The World to Come " introducing a new Black Panther.
