The latest installment chronicles the events that take place after the death of T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman). Boseman passed away after battling cancer in 2020, with makers deciding not to recast his character. The film has been directed by Ryan Coogler. It will witness a theatrical release on November 11, 2022, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. 

In a conversation with ET, Lupita Nyong'o, who takes on the role of Nakia, spilled beans on the film, mentioning, "There's something visceral about this particular story that brings us to tears."

Heaping praise on Coogler, she added, "He sets a certain tone, certain culture on set, that it's all-hands-on-deck. It's teamwork, it's familial, it's intimate. And you go kinda through the fire together, and Lord, there were fires. So, it brings us all together."
