It makes you wonder if one day Marvel will manage to keep the mouths of its actors sewn shut! THE leaks are quite common in the films of the MCU for several years, and if Tom Holland is responsible for a large majority of them, he is not alone. We forgive him of course, just like Denzel Washingtonwho recently launched a wave of hype for a project that we hadn’t yet heard of: a new film for the Black Panther franchise.
Not necessarily the next Marvel that we were waiting for, but it could still arrive in theaters in the future!
Denzel Washington leaks new Black Panther film?
Not sure that this leak was expected from Marvel, and even less from Denzel Washington, an actor who has been popular for years already. Indeed, while he was quietly promoting his new film: Gladiator 2 in which he plays one of the main characters, he accidentally revealed a secret which MCU fans weren’t necessarily expecting: a new Black Panther film is in development!
After the unfortunate death of Chadwick Boseman, the actor of 43 ans which had made the character of Black Panther shine in the MCU, the license inevitably had difficulty finding its place, and its new face. With the second film Marvel has already managed to overcome this difficulty, but a third film did not necessarily seem to be the next step for Black Panther, and yet.
In an interview with the Today Show AustraliaDenzel Washington clearly let slip a sentence that leaves no doubt: “Ryan Coogler is writing me a role in Black Panther 3“. The dumpling, obviously, but what character could he play?
What role for Denzel Washington in Black Panther 3?
Obviously, fans have theories about the actor and his potential place in the history of Black Panther. It’s hard to imagine the actor becoming the next Black Panther, he would probably be too old for that. However, according to some fans, he could simply be a ancien roia sort of flashback to the previous leaders.
Another theory, deeper in the lore, would have Denzel Washington playing a variantand not a variation of just anyone, but of Kang. A very important role and one which will become more and more central in the MCU over the years to come. This major villain whose story we learn in the series Loki is a very important piece of history and if Denzel Washington takes on this role, he could take on a pretty crazy place in the MCU.
It’s still a little early for all this, and Marvel has yet to confirm the leak, although it’s hard not to believe a message like this.
