Ryan Coogler Confirms Denzel Washington for Black Panther


Last year actor Denzel Washington hinted that Black Panther would be one of his last films before retirement [click here if you missed that].

Ryan Coogler confirms...

From E! News
Denzel Washington is about to enter the Marvel universe.
Black Panther director Ryan Coogler recently confirmed the Equalizer star will be joining the third film.
“That’s a big f--k with it,” Coogler confirmed on Carmelo Anthony’s 7 p.m. in Brooklyn podcast while playing “F--k With It or F--k Out of Here” June 5. “You crazy?”
He went on to confirm he's writing a very specific role for the 70-year-old. As he cheekily added, “There’s no fiction out there about that.”
And he can’t wait to hear Washington chant “Wakanda Forever” with the cast, who will likely include returning stars Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke. (T’Challa has not been recast since Chadwick Boseman’s death in 2020.)
“Denzel is family at this point,” he shared. “I’ve been trying to work with him since day one. I think he’s the greatest living actor. In terms of what he means to our culture? Forget about it, man.”

Is it true that the next Black Panther will be Ryan Reynolds? Black Panther One had a secret vanilla child according to the comic book.

Denzel was horrible in Gladiator 2.

I agree. Gladiator 2 sucked.
