The Marvel Cinematic Universe just got a major dose of prestige.
Full details below…
Ryan Coogler has personally crafted a role for two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington in the third ‘Black Panther.’
As for what that role is? Well, that’s locked tighter than a Wakandan vault.
When asked in an interview with Screen Rant, Washington coyly replied, “That’s between me and Ryan,” a clear nod to Marvel’s iron-clad spoiler policy.
Coogler’s decision to bring Washington into the fold is huge. Not just for the franchise, but as a flex of the director’s industry clout.
Fans are buzzing, not only about the sheer gravitas Washington will bring, but also about whether the film will give him the screen time and depth he deserves (a fate some MCU stars sadly haven’t escaped).
One thing’s for sure: with Coogler’s admiration for the 70-year-old, the pairing promises to be one of the most exciting collaborations in Marvel’s next phase.
