If you’ve been paying attention to Hollywood news this week, you’ll already have heard the rumors that Ryan Coogler will be writing and directing the upcoming “Black Panther” sequel. Whether or not this rumor gets confirmed, the success of “Black Panther” demands a sequel.

The internet is buzzing with the speculation that ‘Black Panther’ will likely start production in late 2019, so for those interested in auditioning for roles, now is a great time to start focusing on communicating authentically with the Wakandan accent that was developed for the first film.

Why so early? With a film this popular, there is sure to be stiff competition for casting, so having the accent mastered and completely integrated into your audition is going to give you an edge.
