Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Denzel Washington teases huge superhero role ahead of retirement

Denzel Washington has teased that he will soon be seen in a huge Hollywood superhero movie. The 69-year-old Oscar-winning star has been looking ahead to his retirement and says he is hoping to appear in Black Panther 3 before he hangs up his acting shoes. Washington told The Hollywood Reporter: ”At this point in my career, I'm only interested in working with the best, I don't know how many more films I will make, probably not that many. I want to do things that I haven't done.” "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.” The first Black Panther movie was released in 2018 to huge critical and commercial acclaim, but the cast and crew were left devastated two years later when lead star Chadwick Boseman died at the age of 43 following a secret cancer battle. Sequel film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which saw Letitia Wright's character Shuri advance to the lead role, received mixed reviews upon release in 2022 and made almost $500 million (£390 million) less at the box office. Washington is due to play Othello on Broadway in February next year - with Jake Gyllenhaal in the role of the villain Iago.
