Denzel Washington Says He’s Set To Star In ‘Black Panther 3’: “Ryan Coogler Is Writing A Part For Me”


Denzel Washington Will Star In Ryan Coogler's 'Black Panther 3'

The two-time Oscar winner, currently on a press run for Ridley Scott’s Gladiator sequel, told The Today Show Australia that Ryan Coogler is writing an unspecified role for him in the next Black Panther movie. Washington let the role slip during the interview when the show’s host asked him whether he still carried any anxieties around starring in flicks like Gladiator. This year Denzel also re-teamed with his longtime collaborator Spike Lee on High and Low, an English-language reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 crime thriller.
