Before I read the article...hmmm, well, disney planned the avengers arc from the beginning of their acquisition of marvel. Now they are in the second arc stage so I am certain they have decided a multi media interwoven story between streaming/film/animated toons et cetera all involving kang the conqueror whose identity allows for kang to appear as a criminal or civilian in stories ranging from the highly technological to the magical to the streetcrime. KAng already set the groundwork in the loki miniseries. many kangs exist and they are in battle with themselves. but they each have different ways, different specific skills or interests or paths, some to dominate some not to, so this allows all types of marvel heroes to floruish. Characters like daredevil can floruish with kang as the center piece villain as opposed to a thanos who you can't imagine a street hero fighting. what does this mean for denzel washignton or michael b jordan's interest. Well, Jordan can sell to Disney a movie where denzel doesn't have to be in their main story line or prepared story line and they can fit him in a branch cause KAng comes in so many forms, outside of the various baddies in the universe. and that I think will fit denzel whose only franchise he has experience in is the equalizer which is based on him., and isn't a franchise in the volume of a marvel story arc and he may not want to be in something to grand. LEt alone if this activity from jordan is part of a conversation he had with Boseman about helping Boseman's mentor into the marvel universe that will not be commonly known. so, ... after I read the article... Denzel stated he is looking for a fatherly role, so supporting role is usually like that, not a black panther -esque role or any headliner. Also , nothing he needs to be tied into for a twenty year phase or something like that. Thus even if it is a leading fatherly role it isn't going to be heavily sequelled. So maybe a single role in three films. ... In conclusion, what roles? The cheapest answer is a film series, Wakandan Kings. Where Denzel plays a wakandan king of old, up in age, before t'chaka. That kind of film series can dive deeper into how wakanda related to the black community during enslavement by whites in the past. and can relate to kang as his activities are atemporal. While it also attaches to a well known franchise product. A riskier idea is to use lesser known characters. Maybe Jordan can be brother voodoo, and denzel can be papa jambo. IT is a lesser known character. IT is in the ghost rider zone of magical characters so it isn't in the high tech/outer space zone like avengers/guardians of the galaxy/black panther/spider man fame. THus the film has a space for potential as superhero films in the magical zone haven't fared as well. Blade started the modern superhero craze off, but blade, a vampire adventure, in many ways, like twilight, a vampire romance, has a more biology feel than spiritual feel. science or knowledge, not necessarilly superstition or curses. Maybe they can try denzel as an older night thrasher, and the film is the new warriors, I can't recall a film of teenage superheroes dominating. If Jordan is willing to be the financier it can work. they can bring in a bunch of young thespians as many of the new warriors haven't been in film yet, have a totally fresh story, and allow that fatherly role denzel wants. Disney will have their desires, jordan will have his ideas, denzel will have what he is willing to do. ... nobody will ask me:) haha
