As Ridley Scott said 'Gladiator II' is "one of the best things" he's made, Denzel Washington hinted it may be one of his final roles.
The Academy Award winner said he was “tremendously inspired” by director Ridley Scott ‘s upcoming sequel Gladiator II, which premieres Nov. 22 in theaters, while hinting that he’s nearing the end of his acting career. In Gladiator II, Paul Mescal stars as Lucius, who enters the Coliseum years after witnessing Maximus (played in the original by Russell Crowe) die at the hands of his uncle, Emperor Commodus ( Joaquin Phoenix). After making his onscreen debut more than 40 years ago, Washington has added directing and producing to his resumé with such titles as Antwone Fisher(2002), The Great Debaters(2007), Fences(2016) and A Journal for Jordan(2021).
