Every Upcoming MCU Project Ranked By Anticipation

For reasons that stretch far beyond what actually happened on the screen, Black Panther immediately became one of the most iconic and most popular franchises under the MCU umbrella. Immediately, this felt like a franchise that could run for a long time.

Of course, plans had to be changed with the untimely and tragic death of Chadwick Boseman, resulting in the sequel, Wakanda Forever, working as more of a love letter to the man behind T'Challa than anything else. Following this, there was always going to be a third outing, and it was always going to be highly anticipated.

The only reason Black Panther 3 isn't falling higher on this list is simply because there are so little details available. Though, in all fairness, the details that are out there are already pointing to something incredible.

Ryan Coogler will be back, as will, in all likelihood, Letitia Wright as Shuri, but without question, the biggest news is the potential inclusion of Denzel Washington, who confirmed that Coogler is writing a part specifically for him. It doesn't even matter the role; having someone as peerless, beloved, and talented as Washington attached is enough to make anyone's mouth water.
