He says the project will arrive before his next Black Panther film.

  • Coogler noted he has spoken with Gillian Anderson, who has expressed openness to returning, though no casting is confirmed.
  • Reports say Danielle Deadwyler is in talks for a lead investigator role and that original creator Chris Carter is not involved.
