When the first tentpole film of a brand new superhero franchise makes over $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office, a sequel is a no-brainer. BLACK PANTHER 2 is most definitely coming when Marvel Studios head Kevin Fiege confirmed this earlier this year, on March 8.
Now, BLACK PANTHER director Ryan Coogler is confirmed to return to write and direct BLACK PANTHER 2, per The Hollywood Reporter, who writes:
"Typically, a filmmaker is more than willing to quickly sign on for a follow-up, and a studio is eager to snap up a key piece of talent in the lead-up to or right after a successful opening. But Coogler’s camp shook off the peer pressure and took its time in making a deal, which occurred under the radar some time ago.
"Sources say the plan at this stage is for Coogler to write the script next year with an eye to start production in either late 2019 or early 2020. Marvel and parent company Disney, however, have not made any official announcements about Marvel's slate of movies beyond the release of the next Avengers pic in May 2019 and a Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel in July — and plans could shift."
