One of the most popular MCU franchises is the Black Panther series, which has released two films and introduced some of the most beloved characters.

Wakanda will play a big role in the Multiversal Saga, with several projects in development, including Ryan Coogler’s Wakanda-based TV series, an untitled Okoye series, and the animated show Eyes of Wakanda, set for release in 2025.

Black Panther 3 was rumored to be in development for several months now, and now Denzel Washington has dropped a bombshell on us. According to the actor Ryan Coogler is currently writing a role for him in the upcoming Black Panther flick.

I played Othello at 22, I’m now going to play it at 70. After that, I’m playing Hannibal. After that, I’ve been talking with Steve McQueen about a film. After that Ryan Coogler is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther.
