Michael B. Jordan has now weighed in on David Jonsson’s casting in Black Panther 3, adding new attention to Ryan Coogler’s upcoming film in the Marvel franchise. The reaction, reported during Comic-Con 2026, puts one of the series’ most recognizable stars back into the conversation as interest builds around the next chapter in Wakanda.
Jordan has a strong connection to the Black Panther movies after playing Erik Killmonger in Coogler’s 2018 original and returning in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. That history makes his response to Jonsson’s reported role especially notable for fans following how the franchise is evolving.
Jonsson being linked to the new Black Panther suggests the third film may mark a major transition for the series. While plot details remain limited, the casting news alone has already become a key talking point around Coogler’s next Marvel project.
For now, the biggest development is that Jordan has publicly addressed Jonsson’s place in Black Panther 3. As more official details emerge, attention is likely to stay fixed on how the film expands the Wakanda story after Wakanda Forever.
