Like Tom Holland before him, Denzel Washington may have spilled the beans a little too early regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In full promotion for Gladiator IIwhere he plays the role of Macrinus, the American actor revealed to the media The Today Show Australia that he would be in the casting of a potential Black Panther 3. Director Ryan Coogler, already behind the first two films, would have specially written a role for him for the sequel to Wakanda Forever.
“At this stage of my career, I especially want to work with the best. I don’t know how many more films I’ll be in, probably not that many. I want to do things I’ve never done before. I played Othello when I was 22, and I’m going to play him again when I’m 70. After that, I’ll be Hannibal, and I’ve started discussions with Steve McQueen about his next film.
Even later, I know that Ryan Coogler is writing me a role for the next film Black Panther. Then I’m going to make a film about Othello, before playing King Lear and retiring.”
Currently, we know almost nothing about a potential film Black Pantherexcept that the first two were a hit at the international box office and that they will always resonate in the hearts of fans for the performance of Chadwick Boseman, who died in 2020. Moreover, the circle has come full circle with the arrival of Denzel Washington in Wakanda, since the interpreter of T’Challa had declared in one of his moving speeches that“there is no Black Panther without Denzel Washington”.
