Denzel Washington to play Hannibal, reteam with Antoine Fuqua for Netflix

[Canada]

EXCLUSIVE: Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is ending, why not come out with elephant-sized ambition? Netflix has attached Denzel Washington to play the ancient Carthaginian general Hannibal in an untitled epic drama that will reteam him with Antoine Fuqua for Netflix. That reunites back star and director who first teamed on 2001’s Training Day — Washington won the Oscar for that turn — and they most recently made the third installment of the Equalizer franchise.

And here I thought Denzel was going to be a cannibal. Now that would be cinema.

Ain't gonna lie, I too thought he'd play Hannibal the Cannibal, but surprisingly that's not it.

This Hannibal was born in North Africa so in terms of race accuracy, they're not race-swapping a character for once in a Netflix production.

As this'll feature Denzel Washington I'm interested.

Would rather see him with the rest of the A-Team.
