- On February 1, 2021, Disney announced a Disney+/Marvel spin off series World of Wakanda focusing on the world of Wakanda with its supporting characters rather than T'Challa with Black Panther director Ryan Coogler developing the spin off series.
- The film was released in 2022 as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. T'Challa dies off-screen at the start of the movie and appears in flashbacks after that. Thus, as promised, Shuri was given the role of the main protagonist and takes up the mantle of the Black Panther at the end of the movie.
