The Buzz Around Denzel Washington’s Role in Black Panther 3
Lupita Nyong’o, renowned for her role as Nakia in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), has recently addressed the swirling rumors concerning Denzel Washington’s possible involvement in the upcoming Black Panther 3. In her previous portrayals in Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Nyong’o’s character not only serves as T’Challa’s romantic partner but also steps into the spotlight as the mother of his son, Toussaint, also known as T’Challa Jr.
Current Status of Black Panther 3
While Marvel Studios has yet to officially announce Black Panther 3, speculation regarding its storyline and potential cast members has already ignited interest among fans. During a November 2024 interview on The Today Show, Denzel Washington himself hinted at his participation in the film. However, it is important to note that his casting has not been validated by Marvel.
Lupita’s Thoughts on the Speculation
In a recent podcast interview with Gerrad Hall, Nyong’o expressed her skepticism regarding the accuracy of the rumors, highlighting her desire for clarity directly from Marvel’s director, Ryan Coogler. She noted:
“Well, I won’t believe it until I hear it from Ryan himself, because what if Denzel has a role and I don’t? Let me stay humble and ignorant until the leader of the pack actually says something.”
Looking Ahead
The speculation surrounding Black Panther 3 and its characters has reignited conversations about the future direction of the franchise, especially in the wake of Chadwick Boseman’s passing. Fans are eager for more information, but the anticipation continues to grow as Marvel remains tight-lipped about official casting and plot details.
