The critically acclaimed film “Black Panther” is officially going to have a sequel. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige made the announcement Friday, March 9.

Feige was asked about the specifics of the sequel, “nothing specific to reveal” and “we absolutely will do that.”

The Marvel president said they were discussing a “Black Panther 2” while they filmed the first movie. “One of the favorite pastimes at Marvel Studios is sitting around on part one and talking and dreaming about what we would do in part two, Feige said. “There have been plenty of those conversations as we were putting together the first ‘Black Panther.'”

Several actors from the movie also came up with possible scenarios of a “Black Panther 2”. Forest Whitaker who played Zuri said, “I guess I would be like an Obi-Wan Kenobi, you know, who comes back, he talks from the ancestral plane to give advice to T’Challa.”

The movie doesn’t have a release date, but Feige said they have a clear direction. “We have ideas and a pretty solid direction on where we want to head with the second one.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
