Denzel Washington Turns Down Marvel Role: Why He Said No

In a recent interview, Denzel Washington made a bold decision – turning down a significant role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While the role could have brought him more than $30 million, Denzel stood by his principles. He expressed his opposition to what he perceived as a “woke” theme, explaining that he didn’t resonate with the idea of playing a character who hides their homosexuality and eventually reveals it.

Marvel denied that the characters offered to Washington were Thanos or Groot, but fans have speculated that one of them might have been the role. With Marvel’s vast range of characters, it’s challenging to pinpoint the specific superhero in question. Some fans have even suggested the possibility of a love relationship between Agent Carter and Black Widow.
