BEYONCÉ MIGHT BE ON THE SOUNDTRACK

Nothing promises to make the sequel more worthwhile than the speculation of the involvement of Queen B herself on the soundtrack of the upcoming movie.

Per reports, Beyoncé signed a $100 million deal with Disney for three projects, and it is believed that "Black Panther 2" is part of it. Neither of the parties has confirmed the veracity of the rumors.

FACTS ABOUT "BLACK PANTHER"

Before Disney's "Black Panther" was released in 2018, several studios tried their hands on the superhero movie but to no avail, with actor Wesely Snipes taking the lead back in the '90s.

Snipes' work on the African superhero was halted due to differences between Stan Lee and Columbia Pictures. The "Blade" actor hoped to star in a 1990's adaption of the movie pitched by John Singleton.

Unfortunately, the project was scrapped. Despite the disappointment of not bringing "Black Panther" to life, Snipes has publicly praised Coogler's version.
