Denzel Washington apologizes to Black Panther 3 director for spilling Marvel secret

Denzel Washington sits down and stares.

Denzel Washington made waves in November when he revealed that he plans to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before he retires. While promoting Gladiator II on Australia’s Today show, the two-time Oscar winner surprised everyone by announcing, "[Black Panther director] Ryan Coogler is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther." The news understandably came as a shock to comic book fans, given that Marvel hasn't even announced Black Panther 3 yet, let alone whether Coogler will be returning to helm the project.

Now, it looks like Washington's comment may have come as a bit of a surprise to Coogler himself. During an appearance on the Variety Awards Circuit podcast, Washington revealed that he called the filmmaker recently to apologize for spilling the beans about his involvement in Black Panther 3. "I called him the other day. I forgot what it was about — no, I called him to apologize," Washington said. "I said, 'I'm sorry, man.' He's like, 'No, man, it's all good.'"
