Ryan Coogler just confirmed that the next film on his plate is Black Panther 3, and now we officially know that Damson Idris is stepping into the suit. How delicious! Marvel fam, grab your popcorn and your auntie’s wrapper, because Wakanda might just be welcoming its next king. The same Damson who charmed the world in Snowfall and zoomed into superstardom beside Brad Pitt in F1 has the timeline buzzing, the memes flying, and the excitement bubbling like vibranium. Calm yet commanding, intense yet warm, he lights up every frame, and maybe, just maybe, he’s about to light up Wakanda too.

He made waves at the Black Panther fashion segment during Vogue World, sharing a memorable moment with Angela Bassett in full Queen Ramonda-inspired elegance. The moment was unforgettable, a perfect mix of style and presence. Stepping into T’Challa’s shoes isn’t just about suits or stunts, it’s about heart, soul, and legacy. The late Chadwick Boseman defined the role with courage and dignity, and Damson Idris has the fire, respect, and brilliance to carry it forward.
