The veteran actor, who plays a crucial character in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2, recently made this revelation in an interview on the ‘Today Show Australia.’
“I am only interested in working with the best. I don’t know how many more films I’m going to make. Probably not that many,” he said.
Sharing the roles he has lined up before a possible retirement, Denzel revealed this:
“I’m playing Othello at 22, now I am playing Othello at 70. After that, I am playing Hannibal. After that, I have been talking with Steve McQueen about a film. Ryan Coogle is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther. Then I’ll do Othello and after that, I am going to do King Lear. After that, I am going to retire,” he added.
Black Panther is a 2018 American superhero film based on Marvel Comics starring late actor Chadwick Boseman. Other cast members include Michael B Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, and Winston Duke. After Boseman’s demise, the sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released in 2022.
