“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 Bumpy Johnson for Ridley Scottin 2007, this New York mobster in American Gangster.
He will give the reply to Paul Mescal And Pedro Pascal In Gladiator IIwhich will be released in theaters on November 13.
