Hollywood legend Denzel Washington has confirmed his involvement in Black Panther 3, revealing that Ryan Coogler is writing a part specifically for him. This marks an exciting development for the highly anticipated sequel, which has had an uncertain future since the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Washington, in a recent interview with Variety, discussed his career and future projects, including his upcoming role in Black Panther 3.

Washington shared, “At this point in my career, I’m only interested in working with the best. Ryan Coogler is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther.” He also mentioned other exciting roles, including playing Othello and Hannibal, before retiring.

While Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped about the film’s details, Washington’s confirmation suggests that Black Panther 3 is moving forward, although it may not be released until after the Multiverse Saga concludes. There’s no official release date yet, and the movie might fill one of Marvel’s undisclosed project slots.
