The Two Movies Denzel Washington Regrets Turning Down

In the 21st century, the age of the “movie star” has dwindled, as highly-anticipated films tend to generate audience interest based on their association with previously existing intellectual property works. While few actors can inspire audience turnout based on their name alone, Denzel Washington has never failed to draw in viewers for his latest projects. Washington has been at the center of the film industry since the late 1980s, and his commitment to quality has ensured that his greatest performances will not be easily forgotten. Although he's had relatively few critical missteps within his career, Washington has admitted there are a few roles that he regrets turning down. Had things gone differently, Washington could have been in a terrifying neo-noir crime thriller and played one of the most iconic anti-heroes in modern screen history.
