Fresh off of the success of his film Black Panther, director Ryan Coogler was recently at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival to teach a master class.

As our sister site Shadow and Act reports, Coogler took a lot of press questions, and gave some exciting answers, even revealing that he’d love for Marvel to make an all-female Black Panther spin-off.

“In a macro sense, that’s the black community,” Coogler said of the possible spin-off. “You find these incredibly layered women [who are] smart, heads of household. That’s the world I come from. The women in my life are amazing and I want to make films that capture that.”

He also revealed, the Atlanta Black Star reports, that he used to carry a worry that many black men have: in his early twenties, he wondered if he would reach his 25th birthday.

“25 is the like magic number that you’re either dead or in jail,” the director said. “I saw a lot of good people who didn’t make it past that age, whether they went to prison or whether they were murdered.”

Growing up in Oakland, “death is constantly around us to the point that when I turned 30, I almost had a crisis because I never imagined seeing myself that age," Coogler said.

Fortunately, the now 31-year-old director did make it to 30, and celebrated that milestone by making one of the biggest superhero movies of all time. And according to Shadow and Act, the filmmaker won’t be stopping to rest any time soon: Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios recently said plans for a Ryan Coogler-directed Black Panther 2 are “actively being worked out right now.”
