The gears are already in motion for the sequel to the record-breaking Black Panther movie.
UK-based outlet Metro reports Black Panther’s director, Ryan Coogler, has been in “informal talks” with Atlanta creator Donald Glover for a possible role in the film’s sequel.
Glover played a minor behind-the-scenes role in the first Black Panther, offering up a few jokes for the film with help from his brother Stephen Glover.
“Ryan Coogler is currently mapping out Black Panther’s sequel and has written in a number of new characters that movie-goers will be introduced to when it premieres,” a source revealed to Metro. “One of those characters, if he gets his wish, will be played by [Donald Glover’s musical alter ego] Childish Gambino. Nothing is set in stone but ‘informal talks’ [are happening] between Ryan, Gambino and reps from Marvel and Disney to see if they can make it happen.”
And for fans of Black Panther‘s Erik Killmonger, the villain could make his return in the sequel despite his demise in the first film.
“They’re still yet to decide if Michael B. Jordan will return in some capacity but if he doesn’t it’s likely Gambino may play some kind of villain,” the source said.
In the meantime, Glover is set to make his debut in the Star Wars universe when Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters this Friday (May 25).

Bring back Killmonger. He was a fucking G.
It was announced that donald may be cast as a villain and that MBJ will return as killmonger. I think he will come back as a ghost though like BP father. shit is gonna be fire! But the question is will donald be the same character he was in spiderman homecoming?
I can see him playing a turncoat. Ryan Coogler is from the town so he’s very familiar with the panthers and CIA informants. I can see the story going from Wakanda being secluded from the rest of the world to an attempt to rob them of all the vibranium… sounds familiar to real life pre colonial Africa right? All it takes is one smart enterprising traitor.
In spiderman homecoming glover plays the prowler. He is miles morales uncle. Eventually miles turns into spiderman. So eventually we will get a black spiderman. Prowler is known for stealing tech so maybe he robs vibranium? Im too excited for this..lol
Hopefully not, this overrated hipster act is getting annoying
he plays in spiderman homecoming .. dont think they let him play 2 characters in the same universe
Spiderman is technically aSony film. He will be fine. Chris Evans was Human Torch (Fox) and Captain America (Disney) Michael B Jordan was Human Torch (Fox) and Killmonger (Disney)
Khalid – that Asian guy played Captain’s war buddy as well as Peter Parker’s principal. It has happened before *shrug*
I would skip it. And just torrent the movie wen the DVD. Comes out. And i watched the first one three times in the theater
