Speculation about the casting of 'Black Panther 3' has taken a spotlight, with Damson Idris fueling rumors of his involvement. During a recent interview on NBC's Today show, Idris referenced possible discussions with Marvel Studios about a potential role, responding with a cryptic 'yes-no' answer to a direct inquiry, as reported by Deadline.
His playful response sparked both debate and eagerness among fans, particularly after co-anchor Craig Melvin suggested it might indicate 'yes.' When pressed further on whether he would accept a role if offered, Idris delivered a direct 'yes,' as per Deadline's coverage.
The late Chadwick Boseman set a high standard with his portrayal of T'Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, before his untimely passing in 2020. Letitia Wright's Shuri assumed the mantle in the sequel 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.'
Deadline's recent reports hint at Marvel considering either a recast of T'Challa or introducing his son, Toussaint, with a new actor. The prospect of Denzel Washington joining the cast has been floated, as director Ryan Coogler works on a new role for him.
Ryan Coogler has reaffirmed his commitment to the franchise, pledging ongoing involvement as long as there is audience demand. According to Deadline, Marvel producer Nate Moore stated that decisions are pending regarding T'Challa's future or the development of 'Black Panther 3,' with Coogler not yet beginning work on the project.
