\nDenzel Washington’s got one legendary acting r\u00e9sum\u00e9 — and it looks like he’s gearing up to cap off his career with a series of epic roles, including an iconic Marvel flick.
The Oscar winner shared he\u2019s not sure how many more roles he\u2019ll take on, especially as he\u2019s being super selective as he approaches 70 — but dished that director Ryan Coogler’s writing him a part in the third ‘Black Panther’ movie.
Denzel dropped the news on Australia\u2019s «Today» . casually listing off a few roles he’s planning to play before he officially throws in the towel — «Othello» . an untitled Netflix film about the historical Carthaginian general Hannibal, directed by Antoine Fuqua . «King Lear» . and a Steve McQueen film. It’s unclear in what order these 4 films will be produced — but the real mic-drop moment is his ‘Black Panther’ tease tucked right in there.
No official confirmation on his claim yet, but if this goes down, it\u2019ll be Denzel\u2019s Marvel debut — and it’s a full-circle moment.
The late Chadwick Boseman once shared that Denzel actually helped pay for his acting school, so the OG 2018 ‘Black Panther’ wouldn\u2019t even be a thing without him.
Denzel\u2019s ‘BP’ reveal dropped right in the middle of his promo tour for «Gladiator II», which is stealing the spotlight thanks to all the Oscar buzz he\u2019s racking up. Just another day in Denzel\u2019s world!<\/p>\n
