As for franchise chatter, Men’s Journal recapped speculation linking Washington to Black Panther 3, but he shot it down with a blunt five word answer when asked about involvement, leaving no confirmed Marvel attachment at this time; any further casting rumors remain unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation[6].
