What Denzel said
During the conversation, Denzel said: “I called him the other day. I forgot what it was about — no, I called him to apologise. That's right. I called him. I said, 'I'm sorry, man.' He's like, 'No, man, it's all good.' I FaceTimed, and right there next to him was his lady. They were editing. They were hanging out.”
He then quipped, "I love Ryan, because he's like, he won't say things… Well, like, you know what I'm saying? I'm doing a Black Panther.' That's how he sounds, right? 'Yeah, you know what I'm saying?' And like, I'm like, 'Man, are you kidding me? Just write it! Whatever you write, I'll do it.'"
Denzel had revealed earlier that Black Panther 3 was among the few projects that he was looking forward to ahead of his retirement.
