Denzel Washington, who recently starred in the highly anticipated Gladiator 2, gave an interview and admitted that he plans to retire soon.
+ Lady Gaga is confirmed for Season 2 of “Wednesday.”
“I don’t know how many more films I’ll make. Probably not many. I want to do things I haven’t done,” Washington said during an interview with Today from Australia last Monday (11).
“I played Othello at 22, now I’m about to play Othello at 70. After that, I’ll play Hannibal. After that, I’ve been talking to Steve McQueen about a film.”
“After that, Ryan Coogler is writing a role for me in the next ‘Black Panther’. After that, I’ll do the film ‘Othello’. After that, I’ll do ‘King Lear’. After that, I’m retiring,” he confessed.
In August, he had already commented on his retirement plans while discussing his latest role as Macrinus, a former slave and mentor to Lucius, in Gladiator 2, directed by Ridley Scott.
“There are very few films left that I can make and that interest me. I need to be inspired by the filmmaker, and I’ve been tremendously inspired by Ridley,” Washington told Empire magazine.
