The king is heading back to his throne. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Coogler has closed a deal to write Black Panther. Sources tell the outlet that Coogler will spend the next year writing a script, and will aim to begin production in late 2019 or early 2020. Disney has yet confirm the report; representatives for Coogler and the studio Vanity Fair'S request for comment. Marvel chief Kevin Feige previously confirmed that a Black Panther Would you like to be here? He has, however, also said that the studio will not officially announce any post-Avengers 4 movies until after that movie's May 3, 2019, release date.
per T.H.R., Coogler's team took their time closing the deal. The director has been in an enviable position these last few months, which has been awarded to him by the explosive success of his superhero film, which has grown to $ 1.3 billion worldwide and has become a cultural force. Black Panther has also become a major awards contender, frequently mentioned as a nominated nominee in the best-picture Oscar race. Disney has formally thrown down the gauntlet by tapping an awards strategy, and making it clear that it would not settle for a best-popular-Oscar statuette-a category the Academy will not be doing in 2019 after all. Coogler, meanwhile, has stayed on the circuit; it's not clear how it feels about the academy, nor is it cleared its 2016 invitation to join its ranks.
Over in the mainstream world, there was never really a doubt that Black Panther We would give you 1.3 billion reasons why, but it was a good thing that Coogler would return. His artistic sensibility has been taken up with the success of the franchise and, as many critics have been quick to point out, he is one of the key reasons the film was so wildly lauded. His deal arrives on the heels of another report about Marvel beginning with his future slate: Scarlett Johansson just inked a $ 15 million payday for the standalone Black Widow movie. Everybody's gettin 'paid.
Before heading back to Wakanda, Coogler will also work on developing the drama Wrong Answer, starring frequent collaborator Michael B. Jordan (a.k.a. Erik Killmonger), and producing Space Jam 2, starring LeBron James.
