Exciting news for Marvel fans from Hall H at San Diego Comic Con, where David Jonsson (The Long Walk) was announced to play T'Challa's son in 'Black Panther 3'. Apparently, Director Ryan Coogler cast him five months ago.
Marvel head Kevin Feige talked about how the search for the new Black Panther was going to begin after Coogler dealt with the awards season for his film 'Sinners': "A month and a half or so before that process, he called me and said, ‘I found him’. I said, ‘What do you mean?’ He goes, ‘I found him. He’s this guy, David Jonsson.’ He mentioned his movies. I had seen some of them. I watched more. He goes, ‘I’m going to meet him.’ He had a secret meeting with him under cloak of darkness in a hotel somewhere, and called me afterwards and said, ‘He’s the guy, he’s the guy, I felt it. I felt it in my soul. He’s a good man, and he is the next Black Panther.’ And I got chills, and I got a little welled-up and said, ‘Let’s do it’. So we’ve been sitting on this secret for a good five or six months.?
It's expected that the events of 'Avengers: Secret Wars' will age up the character as he appeared as a child in 'Black Panther 2'. The part was rumored to be going to 'F1' star Damson Idris, who at 34 years old is probably too old for the character.
