When asked about his future plans, Washington said that “at this point in my career, I’m only interested in working with the best, I don’t know how many more movies I’ll make, probably not that many. “I want to do things I haven’t done.”
“I played Othello at 22, now I will do it at 70,” he continued. “After that, I’ll play Hannibal. After that, I’ve been talking to Steve McQueen about a movie. After that, Ryan Coogler is writing a role for me in the next Black Panther”.
