Damson Idris is addressing the rumors of him playing Black Panther. The 33-year-old F1 movie star is rumored to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, after the late Chadwick Boseman.
While promoting F1 on the Today Show, Damson was asked about the possibility of playing Black Panther. “There’s some speculation out there in the universe that you could be cast as the next Black Panther,” Craig Melvin said. “Have you had any conversations about that? Yes or no?” “Yes no,” Damson responded, to which Craig said, “By the way, the yes no means yes. ”Damson then replied, “Uh, it could mean no.” “It probably means yes,” Craig added, switching his approach to ask the question, “If they asked, would you say yes?”
“Yes,” Damson said. It was just confirmed that Denzel Washington has joined the cast of Black Panther 3!
