As a seasoned movie critic with over three decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Denzel Washington‘s involvement in Marvel’s “Black Panther 3” is nothing short of electrifying news. His illustrious career, coupled with his connection to the late Chadwick Boseman, adds a layer of poignancy and authenticity that will undoubtedly resonate with fans worldwide.
After unintentionally disclosing his part in Marvel’s upcoming Wakandan story during a chat on the Variety Awards Circuit podcast, Denzel Washington felt compelled to apologize. In a moment of honesty, he shared that he urgently called director Ryan Coogler after accidentally leaking details about his role in the third film of the Black Panther franchise. The slip-up occurred during an interview for Gladiator II on Australia’s Today show, where Washington discussed his upcoming projects, including Marvel Studios’ Black Panther 3.
Washington openly shared that he recently made a call to someone, but couldn’t recall the reason – it was actually an apology he wanted to make. As he admitted, “Yes, I did call him. ‘I’m sorry, man,’ I said. He replied, ‘No, man, it’s all good.’ At that moment, I saw his girlfriend sitting next to him, they were editing and enjoying each other’s company.” Furthermore, Washington disclosed his upcoming role in Marvel’s Black Panther 3, written for him by Coogler, as well as plans for two Shakespeare adaptations. However, he surprised everyone by expressing his intention to step away from acting entirely.
The unexpected announcement from Washington sent ripples through the Marvel fandom, especially since the studio hasn’t officially greenlit the third chapter of the Wakandan saga. Washington’s involvement would mark a poetic connection to the franchise – he once funded the late Chadwick Boseman‘s acting studies, prompting Boseman to declare at the 2019 AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony: “My whole cast stands on your shoulders. The daily battles won, the thousand territories gained, the many sacrifices you made for the culture on film sets through your career, the things you refused to compromise along the way lay the blueprints for us to follow.”
Regardless of the early announcement, the relationship between Washington and Coogler remains unaffected. On a Variety podcast, Washington playfully imitated Coogler’s conversational style: “I admire Ryan because he doesn’t just tell you things; instead, he’ll say, ‘You know what I’m saying?’ or ‘Like, you know what I’m saying?’ Well, when he talks to me, I don’t always understand him. I tell him, ‘Ryan, please just say it!’
Washington’s enthusiasm for the project shines through his candid remarks: “Man, are you kidding me? Just write it! Whatever you write, I’ll do it,” he recalled telling Coogler. The role represents one of Washington’s final screen appearances, as the 69-year-old actor has indicated he’s approaching retirement, though “not tomorrow,” as he quipped, adding “We’re all retiring.”
In the “Black Panther” film series, which boasts top-tier talent like Angela Bassett, Michael B. Jordan, and Forest Whitaker, Denzel Washington is set to make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. Although specifics about his character are still secret, even from Washington himself, his involvement in the cast further strengthens the series’ reputation for attracting some of the most esteemed actors in Hollywood.
While online enthusiasts buzz with theories and creative minds share concept art depicting Washington in diverse Wakandan characters, the actor keeps mum, showing due respect for undisclosed information. Marvel Studios has yet to set a definitive production schedule or make any formal announcements regarding the script’s progress.
Washington’s forthcoming plans involve the Antoine Fuqua-directed Hannibal biopic funded by Netflix, a stint on Broadway as Othello alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in February 2025, and a collaboration with Steve McQueen on an unspecified project.
According to Washington’s statement to Variety, he emphasized his focus is on the filmmakers. At this stage in his career, he’s selective about who he works with, choosing to collaborate only with the top-tier talent. He’s unsure of how many more films he’ll make, so he wants to explore new opportunities and experiences that he hasn’t yet tackled.
Currently, it appears that the renowned actor has taken the lesson from Marvel’s stringent confidentiality policies, despite his unintentional disclosure. This slip-up has actually fueled excitement for what looks to be an extraordinary addition to the ongoing storyline in the Black Panther saga.
