A long-time Marvel Studios executive addresses Denzel Washington’sBlack Panther 3update about Ryan Coogler writing a role for him in theMarvel Cinematic Universe. While Marvel Studios has yet to formally announcetheBlack Panther 3movie, a sequel appears to be in the development stages, which would complete another trilogy in the MCU. The MCU sequel got a lot of traction when Washington revealed that he is seemingly joining the franchise for a mystery role inBlack Panther 3, leaving the world wondering what is actually going on with the installment.
ScreenRant’s own Liam Crowley recently chatted with Marvel Studios' VP of Production & Development, Nate Moore, forCaptain America: Brave New Worldand also got a chance to check in on theBlack Panther 3buzz that Washington caused. Though Moore is involved withBlack Panther 3,the producer was very careful with his response to Washington’s supposed MCU debut, as he shared the following:
If that manifests, which we’re gonna try, I think it will probably be somebody from canon. Who that is, is early days. We honestly haven’t had really substantive creative conversations with Ryan, mostly because he’s finishing his film Sinners, which is gonna come out this year and is gonna be great. So again it’s too early to say, but obviously if an actor of the caliber of Denzel Washington wants in, we’re gonna figure out a way to make that happen.
What Nate Moore’s Comments Mean For Black Panther 3
It’s Too Early To Definitively State Anything
It’s key to remember that, sinceBlack Panther 3hasn’t been formally announced by Marvel Studios,it’s too early for anyone who would be involved with the film to comment on casting, even if it includes a major Hollywood icon like Washington. Based on Moore’s comments, it wouldn’t be shocking if there isn’t an official deal yet in place for Washington, but rather discussions about getting him into the MCU franchise. Depending onwhat’s happening withBlack Panther 3, it may be a while until Washington is officially signed on to be in the film.
Given that it would be one of the biggest additions to the entire MCU,casting Washington inBlack Panther 3would be fascinating, as it would have to be a big role. Whether it is a hero or villain is a separate issue, but no matter who he would play inBlack Panther 3,Coogler and his creative team would want to get it absolutely right. Assuming it could be a one-and-done gig for Washington, Moore is making it clear that they want to make it worth his while, as well as worth it for the audience.

Washington’s Casting Could Have Exciting Impications For The Movie
Based on Moore’sBlack Panther 3comments, if they end up getting Washington in the film,the MCU sequel may very well pull from the larger Black Panther mythology. Given what a tremendous actor he is, it will be exciting to see how Washington would fit into the massive superhero franchise. Hopefully, as 2025 progresses forward, more updates will start to emerge forBlack Panther 3, including what role Washington will actually have in the movie.
