Ryan Gosling as Black Panther? This is a rumor that is gaining traction online, and considering that «Black Panther 3» is officially in development, fans are more curious than ever about what’s next for Wakanda.
Marvel plans to bring back many beloved actors while introducing new powerful characters, all while continuing to honor Chadwick Boseman’s legacy. And although Gosling’s name has surfaced due to a new comic book storyline, nothing has been confirmed — yet.
Here’s what we know so far about the cast, rumors, and expectations for the next chapter below.
At this time, there is no official confirmation that Gosling will play Black Panther in the Marvel Universe. Speculation arose after the release of Marvel Knights: The World To Come Vol. 1 #1, where Ketema appeared — a fair-skinned, blond character claiming to be T’Challa’s son and taking on the mantle of Black Panther. The character’s appearance led fans to draw parallels with Gosling, sparking speculation about his possible involvement. But Marvel has not made any casting announcements, and Gosling’s involvement in the Marvel Universe is thus not confirmed.
However, Gosling is officially part of another major franchise: Star Wars. He stars in the film «Star Wars: Starfighter», - a standalone film directed by Shawn Levy, set to be released in May 2027. It will feature entirely new characters, and events will unfold after the events of «The Rise of Skywalker».
According to IMDb, «Black Panther 3» is set to be released in theaters in February 2028, although Marvel has not made an official announcement yet. Director Ryan Coogler is reportedly returning, and the plot will continue to expand the world of Wakanda and its legacy.
It is expected that the main cast will return, including Letitia Wright as Shuri, Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye, and Winston Duke as M’Baku. These characters continue to carry on Wakanda’s legacy after the passing of Chadwick Boseman, who played King T’Challa
