Winston Duke officially returns to Wakanda for “Black Panther 3,” and David Jonsson will join him.

Marvel previewed the third “Black Panther” at San Diego Comic-Con, which will premiere on December 15, 2028. Jonsson will play T’Challa’s son, Prince T’Challa II, continuing the legacy of the late Chadwick Boseman.

“I trust him as an artist. I also trust the people who elected him,” Winston said. Variety on Jonsson joining the franchise. “I trust Ryan [Coogler]. I trust the entire MCU executive team. “I think it’s going to be great.”

“Black Panther” was Duke’s first film and he said he hopes to create an equally welcoming experience for Jonsson. “The way I was greeted and welcomed into this world, which was with a lot of grace, which I was told is a safe space to work and play, that’s what I wanted to convey to him,” he said. “I don’t have any advice. I know what I have to do with him, which is play with him. I have to trust him. I have to give him the same grace that was extended to me.”

Ryan Coogler will return to direct the film after “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” with Leticia Wright reprising her role as Shuri.

Winston will also appear as M’Baku in the highly anticipated “Avengers: Doomsday,” which premieres December 18. The film’s trailer has been viewed 503 million times since its release on Monday.

“What I know is that we have their attention,” Winston said when asked about fan interest in the future of the MCU. “I think we have their attention because of the great trust they have in the MCU. We’ve created and delivered so many films over the years, and it’s never about one particular director. It’s about the cohort.”

The first “Black Panther” film was released in 2018 and grossed $1.3 billion at the global box office, in addition to receiving seven Oscar nominations and three awards.
