Damson Idris recalls accidentally spitting in 'F1' costar Brad Pitt's face: 'It was just dribbling down'
Damson Idris says he had a "say it, don't spray it" moment on the set of his new film, F1. In an interview Wednesday on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Idris — who plays a rookie Formula One driver named Joshua Pearce — recalled an embarrassing moment while shooting opposite his F1 costar Brad Pitt, who plays Pearce's mentor, Sonny Hayes. "He is such a giving actor. We once did a scene where I had to scream in his face, and it was like the biggest scene for me. I was so nervous. And in between a take I spat in Brad Pitt's face," Idris admitted. "It was an accident! It was a rageful scene!" The actor said that Pitt flinched a bit in surprise, but then just kept going with the scene. "In my head, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, I spat in Brad Pitt's face! I'm gonna lose my job now,'" he joked. "I watched the spit the whole take, it was just there dribbling down [his face]." Though Idris had never worked with Pitt before F1, the actor — who broke out in FX's long-running drama Snowfall — said he had a near-miss encounter with the Oscar winner years ago while working as an usher at the Lyceum Theater in London. "One day Brad Pitt comes in to watch the play. And I'm at the back working, and I rush out, like, 'Oh my God, Brad Pitt's here!' And I don't catch him," Idris recalled. "I see blonde hair, blue jeans, and tan boots just walk out the door. And I said, 'Wow, one day, I'm going to work with him.'" And spit on him, apparently.

Damson Idris has neither confirmed nor denied he has been cast as Black Panther. Following the passing of the previous T'Challa actor Chadwick Bosemen in 2020, the F1 star, 33, has been linked to the Marvel superhero, and Idris has now addressed the rumours he has taken on the role for the third Black Panther movie. During an appearance on the Today show, presenter Craig Melvin asked Idris if he had spoken to Marvel about becoming the next Black Panther, to which the actor said: 'Yes, no!' The Snowfall star was then quizzed on if he would accept an offer to play Black Panther, to which Idris simply replied: 'Yes!' Bosemen had portrayed T'Challa in Ryan Coogler's 2018 blockbuster Black Panther, and had also appeared elsewhere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with 2016's Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War in 2018 and Avengers: Endgame in 2019.

I got every intention of working with him in that movie and as long as he's interested - it's going to happen.' Coogler went on to hail Washington a 'living legend and a great mentor'. He added: 'He's all about looking out for us.' The director also teased fans will have 'not long' to wait for the third Black Panther film. Washington had spilled his potential involvement in the next Black Panther flick when he was laying out what his final projects would be before he retired from Hollywood.

Damson Idris hints at Marvel talks for potential T'Challa role in Black Panther franchise
Damson Idris has hinted at ongoing conversations with Marvel Studios regarding a role in the Black Panther franchise, lending credibility to recent casting rumors. The Snowfall star, who currently appears alongside Brad Pitt in F1: The Movie, was previously speculated to be among those considered to take over the mantle of T'Challa, following the passing of original actor Chadwick Boseman. Idris initially responded to the rumors on social media with sarcasm, claiming he had also declined roles in a 007 film, a Daniel Day-Lewis collaboration, and an Eddie Murphy biopic—comments that many took lightly. However, during a recent appearance on Today (via Entertainment Weekly), Idris offered a more ambiguous response when asked directly whether he had spoken with Marvel about playing Black Panther. After hesitating, he answered: 'Yes-no.' When asked if he would take the role if offered, he confirmed with a clear 'yes.' While initial speculation centered on recasting the original T'Challa, current reports suggest Marvel may instead be casting the character's son, Toussaint (also named Prince T'Challa), introduced at the end of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. This younger character is expected to appear in an upcoming Avengers film, eventually playing a central role in Black Panther 3. Director Ryan Coogler, who directed the first two Black Panther films, expressed in a 2022 New York Times interview that he remains committed to the franchise. 'I'll do it as long as folks will have me,' Coogler said, emphasizing the cultural and commercial impact of the series.
