10 Actors Who Could Play Black Panther In The Sequel
3. New: John David Washington
John David Washington is fantastic, and that should come as no surprise to anyone. After all, he's the son of acting royalty, Denzel Washington. That's not to say he's just Denzel's son, though. John David has made his mark, and continues to do so. He's become quite the exceptional actor in his own right.
He was outstanding in BlacKkKlansman; he WOULD have made waves in Tenet, were it not for the ongoing pandemic rightly taking the world's collective attention away from literally everything else; he was a main character in the critically acclaimed HBO series, Ballers; and he's set to star opposite Zendaya in the upcoming Netflix drama, Malcolm & Marie, which - based on its release date - is positioning itself to be an Oscar contender.
When Boseman passed away and the possibility of a recast became a topic of discussion, Washington was one of the first names on people's lips, and rightly so. The man is great, and if anyone could step into that role, it's him.
