Damson Idris has denied rumors that he turned down the lead role in the next Black Panther film. Speculation surged online as fans debated who might succeed the late Chadwick Boseman, with some claiming Idris passed on the opportunity. Responding sarcastically on X, Idris joked about rejecting roles like James Bond and an Eddie Murphy biopic, making it clear the rumors were false.
Though Idris has no confirmed involvement with the Marvel franchise, he is set to star alongside Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem in an upcoming F1 film. Meanwhile, fans continue to speculate on potential casting choices for the iconic role, with names like Daniel Kaluuya, John Boyega, and even Denzel Washington being floated.
Marvel has kept details about the next Black Panther film under wraps, leaving the future of the franchise—and the reveal of Boseman’s successor—a mystery for now.
We have made a list of who we thought would be best, hilariously suited as the new Black Panther.
