Black Panther 2 release date May 6, 2020
Director: Ryan Coogler
Starring: Unconfirmed but we will almost certainly see Chadwick Boseman, Winston Duke, Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, and Angela Bassett return.

Director: Destin Daniel Cretton
Starring: Simu Liu, Awkwafina and Tony Leung.
