Denzel Washington has joined the cast of an upcoming Netflix crime-thriller, continuing a trend in the actor's legendary career. Washington is one of the most accomplished actors ever. He's a nine-time Academy Award nominee, winning twice for his performances in Training Day and Glory. At 70, he's still taking on new challenges in his career. He was never known for starring in major franchises, but he recently changed that with prominent roles in The Equalizer franchise and Gladiator II. He's also supposedly joining the MCU in Black Panther 3, which still needs an official green light from Marvel.
