One of his upcoming roles is Othello, a character he first played when he was just 22 years old.
“I’m about to play Othello at 70,” Denzel said. The two-time Oscar winner also hinted at working with directors Steve McQueen and Ryan Coogler, who may have a role for him in the next *Black Panther* movie. Denzel also mentioned projects like *King Lear* before adding, “After that, I’m going to retire.”
Denzel Washington’s career started in 1977 with the TV film *Wilma*, and he made his movie debut in 1981 with *Carbon Copy*.

His incredible talent and passion have earned him many awards and widespread praise.
Earlier this year, Denzel talked about wanting to be part of *Gladiator II*.
“There aren’t many films left that interest me, and I need to feel inspired by the director,” he explained.
