Renowned actor Denzel Washington has turned down a lucrative role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to his opposition to what he considers a “woke” storyline. In a recent interview, Washington revealed that he was offered a substantial role that would have paid him more than $30 million but declined it as he did not want to be associated with such a plot.
The role would have required him to play a significant character whose hidden homosexuality would be revealed, an idea that did not appeal to him. However, Washington did not specify which character he was offered, leaving Marvel fans to speculate.
Although some Marvel experts have narrowed down the potential characters, with Thanos and Groot being among the possibilities, it is impossible to determine which one was offered as Marvel has an extensive list of superheroes.
Washington made it clear that he prefers to avoid narratives that he deems as “woke.” He believes that his talents are better suited to films with the potential to receive awards, such as his critically acclaimed performance in “Remember the Titans.”
Furthermore, Washington has declined 11 prizes from the Black Oscars and only displays his three traditional Oscars on top of his refrigerator, indicating that he prioritizes his artistic integrity over recognition based on social factors.
In conclusion, Denzel Washington’s decision to turn down a Marvel role highlights the importance of artistic integrity and the need to prioritize one’s beliefs over financial gain.
Fair play to him, all this “inclusivity” is getting out of hand
Proud of you sir.
