Lupita Nyong’o says Ryan Coogler has some “really exciting ideas” for Black Panther 2 as the series moves forward without Chadwick Boseman.
During Disney Investor Day back in December, Kevin Feige confirmed they will not be recasting T’Challa following the death of Chadwick Boseman. Ryan Coogler is currently hard at work developing the highly-anticipated sequel that could begin filming this summer. In addition to the sequel, Coogler is also working on a Wakanda spin-off series for Disney Plus.
In a recent Good Morning America appearance, Lupita Nyong’o opened up about the status of the upcoming Black Panther sequel and teased Ryan Coogler’s direction:
“It’s gonna be different, of course, without our king to go back into that world. But I know that all of us are dedicated to carrying on his legacy in this new Black Panther. And [director] Ryan Coogler has some really, really exciting ideas that I look forward to bringing to life with the rest of the family.”

Here is the synopsis for Black Panther:
After the death of his father, the king of Wakanda, young T’Challa returns home to the isolated high-tech African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king – and Black Panther – is tested when he’s drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, he must release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, Black Panther stars Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis.
