"Nearly everything I know about producing I’ve learned from my time at Marvel Studios," Moore said.
"I feel lucky to have worked with a group of people who love filmmaking and storytelling as much as my Marvel colleagues and the cast and crew of our films.
"But I couldn't be more excited to apply my experience and passion for film towards theatrical movies in all genres, including returning to the world of Wakanda for Black Panther 3."

Black Panther tells the story of the superhero of the same name aka King T'Challa of Wakanda, with the role played by late star Chadwick Boseman.
After his death in August 2020, plans for a sequel changed and T'Challa's sister Shuri, portrayed by Letitia Wright, ushered in a new era for Wakanda as a second iteration of Black Panther.
Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are streaming on Disney+.
