In a conversation with ScreenRant’s Liam Crowley about his project Highest 2 Lowest, Denzel Washington was asked whether he and Ryan Coogler had ongoing discussions about his role in Black Panther 3. Washington’s reply was succinct, stating, “That’s between me and Ryan.” This response has only fueled further intrigue among fans eager to learn more about his character and the storyline.
