Denzel Washington To Star In The Next Black Panther Movie?

[Outsiders]

In the course of promoting the upcoming sequel to Ridley Scott's Gladiator, Denzel Washington revealed to The Today Show Australia that Ryan Coogler is crafting an undisclosed role for him in the forthcoming Black Panther film. Washington inadvertently mentioned this role during the interview while discussing his preferred types of characters and his future plans prior to retirement.

Quote

“At this point in my career, I’m only interested in working with the best. I don’t know how many more films I’m going to make, probably not that many. I want to do things that I haven’t done,”  Washington said. “I played Othello at 22, I’m now going to play it at 70. After that, I’m playing Hannibal. After that, I’ve been talking with Steve McQueen about a film.”  “After that, Ryan Coogler is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther. After that, I’m going to do the film Othello. After that, I’m going to do King Lear. After that, I’m going to retire.”

Denzel in a Marvel movie? wow that's pretty special, gotta say, I wonder who he would be ? as a star of a movie what character could Denzel be playing? I mean how cool would it be if it was a What If sorta scenario where he is playing Older Black Panther?

That is pretty interesting. He could really be playing anyone. An older Black Panther would be pretty cool. An alternate universe where T'Challa. Denzel would be the guy I'd want to see do that.

A Denzel Black Panther would be so epic! Denzel has always been my favorite actor and man I only wish he was like in his prime so he could tackle a younger version. That would have been something to see.

Yeah, I don't know what happened there. Where he lived. Denzel could be Old King T'Challa.

I think he should play something else like the bad guy
