Denzel Washington Drops Major Bombshell About His Role in Black Panther 3—and His Retirement Plans!

Hollywood legend Denzel Washington just made a jaw-dropping revelation about his future in film—and it’s sending shockwaves through the entertainment world. In a recent interview, Washington hinted that his role in Black Panther 3 might be one of his final big-screen appearances. The Oscar-winning actor confessed, “I don’t know how many more films I’m going to make, probably not that many.” Washington, now 70, expressed a desire to work with only the best filmmakers, revealing upcoming projects like his take on Othello and a highly anticipated role as Hannibal. His collaboration with Ryan Coogler on Black Panther 3 marks the beginning of a new chapter, but it could also signal the end of an era for the Hollywood icon.

As for his upcoming work, Washington is keeping busy. He’s set to star in Gladiator 2—which is dropping this Friday—and he’s already talking about future Broadway and Netflix projects. Meanwhile, his son, Malcolm Washington, is also making waves with his new film The Piano Lesson, which just hit Netflix. But despite his packed schedule, Denzel’s focus seems clear: he’s aiming for roles that challenge him and honor the legacy of his late friend and Black Panther star, Chadwick Boseman. While Marvel Studios has yet to officially confirm his role in Black Panther 3, fans are already buzzing about which character the two-time Oscar winner will portray in the next chapter of the blockbuster franchise. If this is truly the last act for Washington on the big screen, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable one.
