Black Panther 2 can be arriving in cinemas later this yr, and we've got now visible a few rounds of pictures, enough to tease out some information about the eagerly-awaited sequel.

The emotional first trailer become debuted at Comic-Con on July 23 throughout Marvel's epic presentation and showed that T'Challa's demise would be a part of the storyline, following the tragic loss of life of Chadwick Boseman in August 2020.

Since then we've had another trailer, because of this more to study for clues as to what the sequel might be about, and just who might be moving into the titular superhero role. This is what we understand to this point about the approaching Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Black Panther 2 launch date: When is Black Panther Wakanda Forever launched?

After the delay in October 2021, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will now be out in cinemas on November 11, 2022.

That's a flow of four months from July 2022, and the sequel takes the unique vicinity of The Marvels, which has now moved again to July 2023. While not anything is set in stone, we hope this could be the ultimate shift for the film.

Filming started in June 2021, however as stated above, there has been a hiatus among November 2021 to January 2022. However, production restarted in January 2022 and filming wrapped in March 2022, so hopefully, it is able to hit that November launch date.

Kevin Feige added: "Wakanda is a place to further explore with characters and different subcultures. This was always and initially the primary focus of the next story. We're not going to have a CG Chadwick and we're not recasting T'Challa."

Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, and Danny Sapani are all reprising their roles in the sequel as Shuri, Nakia, M'Baku, Okoye, Ramonda, and M'Kathu, respectively.

Duke is reportedly set to be given an "expanded role" in the sequel, but the reports have yet to be confirmed by Marvel, while Narcos: Mexico star Tenoch Huerta is playing the antagonist Namor, confirmed to be a mutant in the film.

Martin Freeman will return as CIA agent Everett Ross. One character who we can officially confirm won't be returning is Daniel Kaluuya's W'Kabi.

The actor, who played Border Chief tribe W'Kabi in the first film, revealed that he didn't film any footage for the sequel as he was committed to the film Nope, which reunites him with Get Out director Jordan Peele, and shooting for both overlapped.

New to the cast are I May Destroy You star Michaela Coel and UFC champion Kamaru Usman, though their roles have yet to be confirmed. Dominique Thorne (If Beale Street Could Talk) will make her MCU debut as Riri Williams, aka Ironheart.

Another Marvel actor who was spotted on set was Falcon and the Winter Soldier's Anthony Mackie – however, he has confirmed that he is not in the film but merely visiting the set. This could, of course, be an elaborate ruse a la the reunion of the Spider-Men. Only time will tell.

Behind the scenes, Ryan Coogler is returning to write and direct Black Panther:
