As a long-time admirer of Denzel Washington‘s exceptional acting prowess and captivating performances, I find myself utterly thrilled by his decision to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) through Black Panther 3. This move is not just a testament to his versatility as an actor but also a dream come true for fans who have been clamoring for his presence in the superhero genre for over a decade.
Sparked excitement across the web when it was announced that Ryan Coogler is penning him for Black Panther 3 – fans had no idea a third movie was on the horizon! For over ten years, Marvel enthusiasts have yearned to see the actor known for films like Training Day, American Gangster, and more recently, Gladiator II, join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and that wish is finally being granted. The announcement, however, was accompanied by the bittersweet news of Washington’s planned retirement from acting. Now, the star has disclosed his reasons for deciding to join the MCU after a decade of passionate fan speculation.

In a conversation with HeyUGuys, Denzel Washington expressed that the reason for his involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is solely due to director Ryan Coogler. He didn’t disclose whether he’s an admirer of Marvel films or superhero movies overall. However, it is known that the two-time Academy Award-winning actor is joining Black Panther 3 because he appreciates Ryan Coogler’s artistic contributions.
“Ryan talked to me about it. I said, ‘Whatever it is, I love you. Go do it, and I’ll read it.'”
It appears that Marvel Studios weren’t quite prepared for the announcement of Black Panther 3, as the project wasn’t discussed during any of their convention panels this year. According to what was said next, it seems that director Ryan Coogler hasn’t yet finalized the script for the film. When asked about it, Washington humorously remarked, “I don’t know what it is yet. He just said he was going to write something.” However, Washington seemed unfazed by how the news was revealed, joking that he didn’t seek permission but rather was the one who dropped the bomb. The following day, he even called up Ryan Coogler to apologize.
Yesterday, I phoned him and said, “I apologize, I hadn’t realized things would turn out this way.” I can’t quite explain why, but it seems to be important or significant in some way. To put it simply, I don’t fully understand what it is; whether it’s a single event, moment, or… truthfully, I’m not sure. However, I promised him that I would handle it because it involves Ryan.
Denzel Washington’s Performance in ‘Gladiator II’ Has Been Deemed “Oscar Worthy”
In general consensus, the reviews for Gladiator II lean towards positive, except for a handful of critics who critique it as an extraneous sequel to the original. Nevertheless, there seems to be unanimity among critics regarding Denzel Washington’s portrayal being worthy of an Oscar. The esteemed actor takes on the role of Macrinus, a former gladiator who later becomes a slave owner. From the trailers, it appears that Macrinus develops a mentor-like relationship with Lucius, whom he purchases from a slave auction. However, Macrinus utilizes Lucius to seize power against Rome’s emperors.
Critics are preoccupied with analyzing Washington’s acting, but the actor himself credits Ridley Scott for making his job simpler by being so devoted to the realm of “Gladiator”. Essentially, Scott “constructed Rome”, as Denzel Washington puts it. This dedication to authenticity allowed the actors to fully immerse themselves in the ancient world, thereby enhancing their performances on the realistic sets. As he stated, this environment enabled their performances to truly thrive.
He constructed Rome, leaving us to merely don our attire and engage in conversation, turning it into a game. Essentially, it was enjoyable; just slip on the accessories and get moving – that’s my perspective. It’s like saying, ‘I’m dressing up, adorning these jewels, and I can hardly contain my excitement.’
