Actor Denzel Washington announced a plethora of new projects and with it comes a surprise that caught many off guard.

The Oscar winning actor said “there are very few films” left for him to make at this late stage in his career, saying he would retire following completion of the projects he has already shared to be working on. One of those project is his role in Black Panther.

“For me, it’s about the filmmakers. 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. It’s probably not that many. I want to do things I haven’t done,” he shared with Today.
