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.

Denzel Washington will appear in the third installment of the groundbreaking franchise, according to director Ryan Coogler's recent confirmation.
