Captain America: Civil War, but returns home to assume the throne. His leadership is soon challenged by his cousin, Erik Stevens, a.k.a. Killmonger. Killmonger takes over the throne, but T'Challa is eventually able to defeat him. He tries to prevent his cousin's death, but Killmonger opts to die free rather than spend the rest of his life imprisoned.
Little is known about Black Panther 2 so far, though Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has said that Marvel Phase 5, though it may not be the first film in that phase.
In a new interview with Coogler signed on to write and direct the sequel this time last year. Over the summer, Feige also mentioned that Coogler was working on the outline. However, since Freeman has mentioned that he doesn't think the movie will film until 2021, Coogler still has plenty of time to complete the script.
This update on Black Panther 2 comes after a summer full of MCU announcements. Disney shared details about Marvel's slate at both San Diego Comic-Con in July and its D23 Expo in August. The studio announced Black Widow movie got a 2020 release date and a villain, Taskmaster.
Even with all the recent Marvel news, it's not surprising that there hasn't been much revealed about Black Panther 2 specifically. Most of the announcements from over the summer involved Phase 4 films, since those will obviously be released before the movies in Phase 5. Black Widow, for example, is already filming, so naturally there would have been more details about that. However, even when Coogler gets further along with his story, it'll probably still be kept under wraps. Marvel is notoriously tight-lipped about specific MCU story details, and it seems likely they'll follow the same logic for Black Panther 2.
