Denzel Washington is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors working today, so it's more than a little surprising that none of the major comic book movie movie studios have ever approached him about playing a superhero.
Over the years there have been several rumors linking Washington to high-profile characters such as Lex Luthor and Green Lantern, but during an interview with JOE.ie to promote The Equalizer 2, the Academy Award-winner maintains that he's never been offered a role in a Marvel or DC project - although he does appear to start another sentence, before deciding on "we’ll see what happens. Never say never" instead.
You can check out the interview for yourselves below. The relevant chat comes in around the 2:10 mark.
