Director Ryan Coogler Confirms that Denzel Washington Will Appear in ‘Black Panther 3’

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released in 2022, and since then, there has been talk of a third Black Panther movie in the MCU, despite the fact that the franchise’s future was left with a lot of uncertainty following Chadwick Boseman’s tragic death.

And while the sequel did a great job of moving on and portraying T’Challa’s death in a proper and emotional way, the fans have been debating about how to go forward from there, with some claiming that the franchise should move on from T’Challa, while others are claiming that they should recast the character.

And while we still don’t know what the final decision will be, we do know that Ryan Coogler is coming back to the franchise and he has recently confirmed that Denzel Washington, who’s been associated with the third movie for a while now, will appear in the movie.

Not much is known abut the Black Panther 3 movie, but the movie is being worked on and written as we speak, with Ryan Coogler coming back to the franchise that launched him into stardom.

As said above, it is currently unclear what course the film is going to take, but it seems that the main characters will come back, and even Angela Bassett has teased a potential return, although we’re less clear on that.

What we do know is that Denzel Washington has been heavily linked with a role in the movie, and Ryan Coogler has now confirmed that Washington will, indeed, have a role in the film:

Of course, the exact nature of the role is a secret now. Some have speculated that he will be a major villain, while others have him as an iteration of the Black Panther character. Only time will tell, but with Washington’s appearance, the movie is definitely going to be a major one, as well as one to watch out for.
