HOLLYWOOD, CA - JANUARY 29: Actor Chadwick Boseman at the Los Angeles World Premiere of Marvel ... [+] Studios' BLACK PANTHER at Dolby Theatre on January 29, 2018 in Hollywood, California. Chadwick Boseman’s rise via playing real-life historical figures (Jackie Robinson, James Brown and Thurgood Marshall) was both a running joke (Was Black Panther going to be structured like a biopic?) First, there will be a Black Panther 2 in some form opening either May 6, 2022 or sometime later. The Force Awakens and Black Panther didn’t make Pacific Rim: Uprising or 21 Bridges into hits. Still, the sheer flood of “random celebrity expresses sadness of Chadwick Boseman’s death” blog posts we’ve seen since Friday are a taste of what will come as implicit marketing for Black Panther 2.
