John David Washington is opening up about possibly joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe one day!

The 36-year-old actor stars in the new movie Tenet and he chatted with Nerd Reactor while promoting the film.

“I mean, there’s so many,” he said when asked about which superhero he’d want to play. “I think it depends who’s asking, what director wants to do it with me. We’ll see. I want to stay open. I don’t want to box myself in. Maybe there’s characters that haven’t even been mentioned yet or developed or introduced in any of the films yet. I’d like to see what they come up with if they ever ask,” John David said.

JDW was then asked if Kevin Feige offered him the role of Reed Richards from Fantastic Four, what would he say?

“Wow, I’d say, ‘Well, thank you for having me, thank you for taking this meeting. Where do I sign?”

John David recently revealed something surprising about his life at home with his very famous father.

John David Washington is sharing his thoughts on a possible sequel to Tenet, and is on board for a second film.

The 36-year-old actor stars as The Protagonist in the film from Christopher Nolan, opposite Robert Pattinson, and spoke with Esquire about the chance of a second movie.

“In my mind, that’s a yes!” he said enthusiastically. “We will be doing this again, we’ll see you in a couple of years.”

However, “in reality, I don’t know.”

“Chris does what he wants. Maybe he has something that he’s developed for years that he wants to do next, maybe he’s been inspired by something else he sees and wants to do that, I don’t know,” John David added. “I hope we get to do it again, I hope we get to explore more, because I think we found something really unique.”

Tenet hasn’t exactly been a box office hit in the United States, as it struggled to reach $30 million just 10 days after its release, due in part to many theaters still being closed across the nation.

However, it has been more of a hit overseas and has passed the $250 million mark.

John David Washington is remembering the late Chadwick Boseman.

In a new interview, the 36-year-old Tenet actor talked about getting to know the late Black Panther actor after a “brief encounter” at a Vanity Fair photo shoot.

“He was just as warm and welcoming as you would hope a leading man would be,” John shared of Chadwick with People. “That’s what he was, a leading man. He exemplified professionalism. He exemplified the kind of artist one would hope to be. He was very serious about his work.”

John added that Chadwick “kept his private life separate” from his work, which he believes “added to his artistry.”

“At the same time, he did a lot of work in the community and he spoke openly about our community’s relationship in Hollywood,” John said. “He had a global impact, being the face of one of the biggest franchises of all time in our industry.”

“He was responsible for a lot of positive change and a lot of medicine administered to a lot of kids that look like me with hopes and dreams of maybe becoming what he can become,” John continued. “It was a huge loss, but it’s a time to celebrate and forever celebrate him and what he has done. There’s only one true king and that is Chadwick Boseman.”

Chadwick passed away at his home in Los Angeles on August 28 after a private battle with colon cancer. He was recently buried in near his hometown in South Carolina.

According to a new report, only a handful of people knew of Chadwick‘s cancer battle.

Zendaya and John David Washington‘s movie Malcolm & Marie is heading to Netflix!

The streaming site bought the worldwide rights for the movie secretly filmed during the quarantine directed by Sam Levinson for $30 million, Variety reports.

Malcolm & Marie stars John “as a filmmaker and Zendaya as his girlfriend, following them after they return home from a movie premiere. A discussion about their past relationships takes an unexpected turn, testing the strength of their love.”

The movie was filmed at “the Caterpillar House, an environmentally-conscious glass architectural marvel” and boasts more than 33 acres of land. During the shoot, cast and crew were all sure to practice social distancing.

Zendaya and John also serve as executive producers on the movie.

As of right now, Malcolm & Marie does not have a release date.

John David Washington is opening up about moving back home during the quarantine!

The 36-year-old Tenet star appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with guest host Samuel L. Jackson where he talked about living with his dad Denzel Washington once again.

“You really live in Brooklyn, but since the pandemic has happened you had to come back home. So you’re living in the house again, right?” Samuel started.

“Technically not anymore, but I was,” John responded. “I was in my old room.”

Samuel, who has been close friends with the Washington family for years, then asked John if Denzel made him do chores again, as Denzel likes “some order in the house.”

“I can’t believe we’re doing this right now,” John laughed. “There was a chore or two. My chore was to make sure I’m down for dinner in time.”

“That’s not a chore,” Samuel responded. “A chore is like sweeping the driveway, taking the garbage out, something to earn your keep.”

“How about cooking?” John added. “There you go, I earned my keep that way.”

If you missed it, John and this Emmy-nominated actress filmed a movie in secret during the pandemic!

We’re just days away from Christopher Nolan‘s highly anticipated movie Tenet being released in areas across the globe and the first reviews have been released!

A select group of critics were given the chance to see the movie before the rest of the world and the Rotten Tomatoes score at the time of this posting is a strong 82% fresh rating.

Even though the film currently has a high score, there are only 38 reviews and the number could change when more reviews are posted. Most of the reviews out there right now seem to be mixed. The website’s critics consensus says, “A visually dazzling puzzle for film lovers to unlock, Tenet serves up all the cerebral spectacle audiences expect from a Christopher Nolan production.”

TheWrap‘s Nicholas Barber said, “In the end, Tenet isn’t one of Nolan‘s most satisfying films. But after I’ve seen it four or five more times, maybe I’ll change my mind.”

The Hollywood Reporter‘s Leslie Felperin said, “Altogether, it makes for a chilly, cerebral film – easy to admire, especially since it’s so rich in audacity and originality, but almost impossible to love, lacking as it is in a certain humanity.”

The Guardian‘s Catherine Shoard said, “The world is more than ready for a fabulous blockbuster… It’s a real shame Tenet isn’t it.”

Tenet will hit select theaters in the U.S. on September 3.
