When quizzed if the actor had any trepidation regarding working in Gladiator sequel, he said, “No. For me it's about the filmmaker, especially at this point in my career. I am only interested in working with the best. I don't know how many more films I'm going to make. Probably not that many. I'm playing Othello at 22, now I am playing Othello at 70. After that I am playing Hannibal. After that I have been talking with Steve McQueen about a film. Ryan Coogle is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther. Then I'll do Othello and after that I am going to do King Lear. After that I am going to retire.”
