Hollywood legend Denzel Washington has announced his intention to star in the highly anticipated third instalment of Marvel’s “Black Panther” franchise before retiring from acting.

The acclaimed actor, who currently portrays a pivotal role in Ridley Scott’s upcoming film “Gladiator 2,” made this revelation during a recent interview on Australia’s “Today Show.”

“I am only interested in working with the best. I don’t know how many more films I’m going to make. Probably not that many,” he said.

As he was sharing the roles he has lined up before a possible retirement, Denzel Washington made a statement saying,

“I’m playing Othello at 22, now I am playing Othello at 70. After that, I am playing Hannibal. After that, I have been talking with Steve McQueen about a film. Ryan Coogle is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther. Then I’ll do Othello and after that, I am going to do King Lear. After that, I am going to retire,” he added.

In 2018, Marvel Studios released the critically acclaimed superhero film ‘Black Panther’, which featured the late Chadwick Boseman in the titular role.

The movie boasted an ensemble cast that included Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, and Winston Duke.

Following Boseman’s tragic passing, Marvel produced a sequel, ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘, which premiered in 2022.

This highly anticipated follow-up continued the story of the technologically advanced nation of Wakanda and its heroic protectors.

The immense popularity and cultural impact of the ‘Black Panther’ franchise have solidified its place as a landmark achievement in superhero cinema.

Under the distribution of Cinemax and the direction of Adeoluwa Owu, the film presents a compelling narrative. Specifically, it follows Lateefah Adeleke, a 30-year-old businesswoman who portrays herself as a world traveller with high social status.

However, her encounter with Jide Rhodes, a 35-year-old businessman, eventually exposes her carefully constructed facade.

In contrast to her claims, Lateefah emerges from a background of extreme poverty as the only child of an illiterate mother.

Finally, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Kunle Remi, Femi Adebayo, Nancy Isime, Bimbo Manuel, Elvina Ibru, Enioluwa, and Gbugbemi Ejeye.

As a result of these combined elements – compelling storyline, strong performances, and strategic release timing – ‘Queen Lateefah’ continues to demonstrate the growing commercial potential of Nollywood productions.
