Predicting 15 Comic Book Movies Announced In 2018

5. Black Panther 2

Black Panther was a stunning critical and commercial success beyond most reasonable expectations, and though a sequel was effectively confirmed after its stonking opening weekend, fans are still waiting for the signed-and-sealed word, along with a release date.

With the latter-half of 2018 being uncharacteristically quiet for the MCU, confirming Black Panther 2 would be a great way to get people talking ahead of Avengers 4.

The movie clearly won't be released until 2020 at the very earliest - and more likely 2021 going by Marvel's general release pattern - but showing fans a logo and staking an early claim on a release date would be a very smart thing to do right now.

Given Black Panther's status as a pop-culture event, only good things can come from nodding towards T'Challa's (Chadwick Boseman) next outing.
