Meet the New Black Panther David Jonsson: His 5 Best TV/Film Roles to Date

Marvel’s “Black Panther 3” is scheduled for a December 15, 2028 theatrical release, with Ryan Coogler returning to direct and Letitia Wright back as Shuri, according to reporting tied to Comic-Con on July 25, 2026. The same coverage says a new actor, David Jonsson, is set to emerge as Black Panther, portraying T’Challa’s son. The article frames this casting as potentially involving story adjustments given that T’Challa’s son appeared as a young boy in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Jonsson, described as a 32-year-old actor from London who studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, is presented with five notable screen roles so far, including “Industry” (2020–), “Rye Lane” (2023), “Alien: Romulus” (2024), “The Long Walk” (2025), and “Wasteman” (2026).
