Black Panther 2: Lupita Nyong'o to play lead role with a possibility of a spinoff

Film producer, director and screenwriter Ryan Coogler has disclosed that he is more than ready to make a female Black Panther spinoff movie with Lupita Nyong'o as the lead actor.
Since the movie's release on January 29, 2018 the film is reported to have made over $1 billion as of March 18, 2018.

With the movie's great success, there have been talks of producing Black Panther 2, with Coogler now reportedly keen on casting the women involved in the first project as the main stars.

He said "I think you could argue the women are more important than the men in the movie. There's a whole section of the film where T'Challa is out of the movie and you're just following the women. That's one of my favorite parts of the movie when I watched it."

On the possibilities of the production of a spinoff with the 'Ladies of Wakanda' Coogler said: "Oh! Man. That would be amazing if the opportunity came up. We have these actresses who could easily carry their own movie Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira (Okoye) and Letitia Wright (Zuri). Some of them have before. We were so fortunate. I would watch a movie with them."
