So with the film officially happening, what do fans know so far about the upcoming installment? Here's everything to know about Black Panther 3, including the cast, director and more. Warning: Spoilers ahead for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever!

Few movie studios are quite as secretive as Marvel. The MCU is a major franchise, and the attempts to keep spoilers from leaking are quite significant. This made it more than a little wild when Denzel Washington just came out and said he would be in Black Panther 3, a movie that Marvel had never even confirmed it was making.

Back in March, "Sinners" director Ryan Coogler reacted to Denzel Washington's public statements about appearing in "Black Panther 3" and while it was something Coogler seemed excited about, he stopped just shy of confirming it.
