David Jonsson Cast As T'Challa Jr For Black Panther 3 : Comic Con GV 715 Highlight

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
I guess Ryan Coogler is on stage, and we'll see what happens.

**Chris** (0:04)
I'll begin, just like I had said earlier in the sense of Thanos not being there at that point, but the power and how scary Thanos got all put out within the first 10 minutes of that movie of Infinity War. Nobody doubted that man, and he barely had just gotten one stone.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:29)
So, how do you say it again, Chris? Denzel.

**Chris** (0:33)
Denzel. Denzel.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:34)
Denzel, Denzel. So, I'm wondering, is Denzel, is he big enough to be, because Fahey says this is the one more thing, is he big enough to be the last thing just by himself? Because he's a legendary actor or is it the whole movie?

**Chris** (0:46)
It depends on the role. It depends on the role.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:48)
T'Challa Jr. Really aged up.

**Chris** (0:52)
I say really, I say, I say he's Black Panther 3 is official. I say Black, I say he's a Black, he could be a multiversal Black Panther, he's a T'Challa.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:02)
He could, he could be the villain. I just wonder, because it's going last, if it's, I think, title, date-ish, you know, like not the full thing, but Black Panther 3 is officially announced.

**Chris** (1:13)
Yeah. Electric Boogaloo.
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:18)
Like, and again, I don't think they're going to show.

**Chris** (1:20)
December 15th, 2028 So there's our three films. We've got Ghost Rider, we've got X-Men, we're ending with Black Panther. So X-Men is our summer movie.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:28)
So Black Panther is getting that big December date too.

**Chris** (1:32)
As it should.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:33)
It should. Oh, absolutely. And this will be the, at least, Coogler's crescendo, right? This is going to be him going out.

**Chris** (1:41)
On a way that he hopefully gets to not have to pivot the script.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:46)
Exactly.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:46)
Nice looking logo.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:48)
Yep.
Again, and this is stuff you can announce because everyone knew there was going to be a Black Panther 3, right? So it's like, because if you look at before, they never announced stuff for phase four before Endgame happened, right? All that was a blank slate. It's going to wait till Endgame. That's why when we got the Comic Con after Endgame, they showed a bunch of stuff, a whole slate, right? They can do this now because Black Panther 3, that's already going. You can put that there. Ghost Rider, as of right now, that's very off to the side. You know, maybe he'll be in Secret Wars, but you could on its surface look at this as a one-off by its own thing. So again, they're breaking it.

**Chris** (2:25)
And this is going to be interesting in the sense of like the debate of Shuri keeping the mantle or are we going back to a male taking on the mantle? You know, that's going to be a very tricky thing for them to weave because there is a lot of back and forth on that.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:39)
Whoa, the new T'Challa MC will be played by David Jonsson.

**Chris** (2:44)
Whoa, is it?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:46)
Holy fuck, David Jonsson?

**Chris** (2:49)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:50)
Whoa.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:53)
Holy sh-

**SPEAKER_1** (2:55)
let's-
oh my god.
Oh my god, that is incredible. Day, oh my god. If you don't know, that is- he's the guy from Anan Romulus. He's the guy from Long Walk. He is the guy that people have said he feels like, it's not just cause he's black, like Denzel, Will Smith, he has that something about him, that charisma. Holy shit.

**Chris** (3:26)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:27)
That I did not think they were going to announce that. Whoa.
Holy moly.

**Chris** (3:33)
Good. You know what? Bravo for him. He deserves those flowers. Cause I was so impressed with him and Anan Romulus. That was-

**SPEAKER_1** (3:39)
Oh yeah. He plays like three roles in that thing.

**Chris** (3:42)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:42)
Holy jeez.

**Chris** (3:44)
So he is their new Black Panther. So is he T'Challa Jr? Is he-

**SPEAKER_1** (3:50)
It just says the new T'Challa. I imagine it's going to be junior. In my opinion, I think they're going to, like they haven't said yet, but I feel like they're going to age him up after Secret Wars and they can do some magic mumbo jumbo sort of thing.

**David Jonsson** (4:02)
Yep. Has no cast.

**Chris** (4:03)
He's T'Challa's son. He's T'Challa's son. Yep.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:05)
Which I get, hey, I get it. Some people are going to be mad. That's always going to be a debate that people are going back and forth. They, I'm fine with this iteration, you know, doing junior.
