In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Marvel President Kevin Feige announced Ryan Coogler, who wowed audiences with his direction in this year’s Creed, would also direct the series’ Black Panther film in 2018. The movie will have significant crossover with the Avengers: Infinity War series as well.
With the announcement also came the news that the cast will be mostly African American, though Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa is the only confirmed member of the cast.
Rumblings earlier this year hinted that Selma director Ava DuVernay would take the reigns for the series before she bowed out.
