Now, Coogler has confirmed not only that he has talked to Washington about showing up in "Black Panther 3", but that he has written a role specifically for the two-time Oscar-winning star.

Late in 2024, Washington teased that filmmaker Coogler was not only hard at work on Black Panther 3, but he was also writing Washington a special part for the film - an admission that forced Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to confirm that Black Panther 3 was indeed in development.
