This article contains spoilers for Solo Leveling.
If it's something fans are always excited to see more of Solo Levelingit's Jinwoo's power-ups.

Since then, Sung Jinwoo has grown tremendously, but everything he has achieved so far will pale in comparison to his next power up.

The black heart takes Jinwoo to the next level
Solo Leveling Season 2 ended with Jinwoo becoming a hunter that could be considered a national leveland he managed to achieve it by single-handedly destroying the Ant King – an enemy that decimated countless S-Rank Hunters.
While this is impressive, overall, Jinwoo is still very weak right nowcompared to his upcoming peak. Jinwoo gets closer to his peak in Solo Leveling's new animated project when he gets his biggest power-up yet, Black Heart.
I am the record of your battles, the proof of your resistance and the reward of your sufferings. I am death, I am eternal rest, I am horror. – Ashborn to Sung Jinwoo, Solo Leveling Manhwa
The Black Heart is given to him by Ashborn after he returns to the Double Dungeonwhich fans may remember as the place where it all began for the beloved protagonist. With the black heart, he becomes the True Shadow Monarch. This heart gives Jinwoo some amazing abilities, like infinite Mana, as well as other general power-ups.
“I will protect my family even if it means turning every hunter in the world against me.” —Sung Jinwoo
Jinwoo before the Black Heart and Jinwoo after it will be at two completely different power levels, and fans will surely be blown away by what comes next for him in the story. Of course, even after the black heart, Jiwnoo still has room to grow.
Solo Leveling's next project will likely be a new movie
Many Solo Leveling fans are wondering what the next step for the franchise is after the conclusion of Season 2. While many thought there would be a new anime season, a movie currently seems more plausible.
After the monumental success of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, it has become clear that many other series want to take advantage of theatrical releases, and that includes Solo Leveling.

In a recent report from the production committee for the series, it was made clear that a Solo Leveling movie will happen next. An exact release date for this film was not revealed, but it was said to be slated for a 2026 release. Meanwhile, exactly what this film will cover also remains a mystery.
Solo Leveling Season 3 has been delayed
For now it seems Solo Leveling Season 3 is delayed. This is because there appear to be plans for a movie instead. Naturally, fans have mixed feelings about this change. Anime seasons allow a lot more content to be properly adapted, and they allow the story to take its proper course without being rushed or cutting content. On the flip side, movies will deliver higher quality, so they have their positives as well.
“I feel like something inside me is being lost every time I get stronger.” —Sung Jinwoo
Anyway, even if Solo Leveling Season 3 isn't coming out anytime soon, it's sure to happen eventually. If a Solo Leveling movie is officially announced, Season 3 will likely take at least 2027 to release.
I use the system and the system uses me. — Sung Jinwoo from Solo Leveling
