Denzel Washington Confirms Casting in Black Panther 3

Denzel Washington has been confirmed by director Ryan Coogler to have a role written specifically for him in the upcoming Black Panther 3, though the actor remains tight-lipped about any details. Washington has emphasized his respect for Coogler's creativity, stating that whatever the director writes, he will read, but when asked about his role, he responded, "That's between me and Ryan." The film itself remains shrouded in mystery, with no official release date announced, and speculation about Washington's character ranging from new creations to possible comic book figures. Black Panther 3 will follow the events of Wakanda Forever, which introduced new characters and factions like Namor and Talokan, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand with other projects such as Avengers: Doomsday. Washington's casting is notable given his usual avoidance of franchise films, highlighting Coogler's influence and the film's significance within the MCU. Despite Washington's previous accidental reveal about the film, he has since been cautious, apologizing to Coogler and maintaining a discreet stance on any plot or casting information.
