Denzel Washington accepted Gladiator 2 because “few films” interest him today

The 69-year-old actor admits that “few films” interest him today.

He will play Macrinus in the next Gladiator II. Denzel Washington is rare in the cinema these days, but for Ridley Scott, the 69-year-old actor agreed to don a toga. And he admits to Empire Magazine that he doesn't accept much anymore:

“There are very few films left that interest me today. Frankly, I have to be inspired by the filmmaker to go for it. And I've been hugely inspired by Ridley in my life. We had a great experience the first time we worked together and so here we go again!”

Denzel Washington Affectionately played New York mobster Bumpy Johnson in American Gangster in 2007.

He will give the reply to Paul Mescal And Pedro Pascal In Gladiator IIwhich will be released in theaters on November 13.
