Bring on the Vibranium. The people can’t wait to see the Black Panther sequel.

According to a new survey by Fandango, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the most-anticipated blockbuster of 2022.

More than 6,000 moviegoers put the forthcoming Ryan Coogler-helmed superhero flick in the top spot, followed by the animated Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Part One) at No. 2 and the Robert Pattinson-fronted The Batman at No. 3.

Other movies in the top 10 also include Thor: Love And Thunder, Jurassic World: Dominion, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, and James Cameron’s long-awaited Avatar 2.

The Beverly Hills-headquartered ticketing company’s survey also found that 94% want to go to the theatre more often in 2022 than they did in 2021.

“Audiences are looking for unforgettable experiences at the theatre and 2022 promises to deliver a bounty of exciting new movies that you must see on the big screen,” Fandango managing editor Erik Davis stated.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is due in theatres Nov 11, 2022. Intended to be the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the film will reportedly star Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, and Dominique Thorne.
