British actor David Jonsson has been unveiled as the new Black Panther, taking on the lead role in Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Black Panther III.”
Marvel announced Jonsson’s casting during its presentation at Comic-Con on Saturday, confirming that the film is scheduled for release on December 15, 2028.
Jonsson, best known for his performances in the HBO series “Industry” and the 2025 film “The Long Walk,” will portray the son of T’Challa, the original Black Panther played by the late Chadwick Boseman.
Boseman rose to global fame after starring in the 2018 blockbuster “Black Panther” before his death from colon cancer in 2020 at the age of 43.
Addressing thousands of fans after the announcement, Jonsson expressed gratitude for joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Thank you to this amazing family that I have the honor and the privilege and the blessing to join,” he said.
