Denzel Washington, 69, announced he’s preparing to retire after completing a final slate of films. In a recent interview, he hinted at fewer projects ahead, saying, “I don’t know how many more films I’m going to make. Probably not that many.”
His upcoming roles include reprising Othello, a character he first played at 22, and possibly collaborating with Steve McQueen and Ryan Coogler, who may cast him in the next Black Panther film. He also mentioned projects like King Lear before retiring.
Washington’s career, which began in 1977, has spanned decades with iconic roles in Glory, Training Day, and Malcolm X. He previously expressed interest in Gladiator II but emphasized that future roles must inspire him.
