It would be cool to see him as Blue Marvel, but they'd have to explain why he wasn't helping the Avengers before.
It looks like Denzel is getting ready to retire, so a villain role makes more sense.
Also after Secret Wars they can probably just have any character appear, trying to figure out where they fit in.
He could also show up as an old man Black Panther, either T'Challa or reformed Killmonger, depending on the story they want to tell.
I don't think Denzel can do an African accent. He didn't do one for the Gladiator sequel because he thought it would be disrespectfully bad. So whoever he plays will probably be an American.
That's an interesting idea about Killmonger, though. Maybe in an alternate universe where he managed to keep the throne, Killmonger conquered the world and realized the problem of violent revolution. So now he's a mentor to Touissant, but leading him down a questionably violent path.
