Denzel Washington to Star in 'Black Panther 3,' Lists His 6 Final Acting Roles Before Retirement
Denzel Washington is booked and busy – dropping some details we didn’t know, including when he’s retiring, too.
First, in some significant Black Panther news, the 69-year-old actor shared that the franchise’s director, Ryan Coogler, will be writing a role for him in the third film in the series. Interestingly enough, this appears to be our first confirmation that a third film is happening, as Marvel has never confirmed it.
Denzel dropped this news on Australia’s Today show, saying, “at this point in my career, I’m only interested in working with the best, I don’t know how many more films I will make, probably not that many. I want to do things that I haven’t done.”
Denzel then listed every role he has lined up, before he plans to retire.
