Denzel Washington Says ‘There Are Very Few Films Left For Me to Make That I’m Interested In’


Denzel Washington says "there are very few films left for me to make that I’m interested in."

In a new interview with Empire magazine to promote his role in Ridley Scott’s “ Gladiator 2,” the two-time Oscar winner admitted the upcoming swords-and-sandals epic was one of the few movies left to make that still interested him. The sequel stars Paul Mescal as a grown-up Lucius, the son of Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) and the nephew of Commodus, the original film’s antagonist played by Joaquin Phoenix. The story picks up years later with Lucius now living in the northern African region of Numidia, where he was sent by his mother as a child as it was just outside the reach of the Roman Empire.
