10 Famous Actors Who Are Skipping Movies In 2019

2. Denzel Washington

If you're an actor of Denzel Washington's stature and talent, you can literally do whatever you please. Hell, the man could retire comfortably at this point, without a care in the world. But that would be a great loss for us viewers, so let's hope he sticks around for a while!

Last seen in The Equalizer 2 over the summer, Washington has always delivered a fine balance between explosive, mainstream fare (The Magnificent Seven, Unstoppable, The Equalizer) and more challenging dramatic roles (Fences, Flight, Roman J. Israel, Esq.), so predicting what he'll do next is tricky. One thing we do know about his next project, however, is that we won't see it in 2019.

Antoine Fuqua - director of both Equalizer films - has expressed interest in returning for a third, but nothing has been made official yet. Besides that, Washington hasn't made any major moves towards securing his next feature-length role. With him directing 2016's Fences to uproarious critical success, there is a chance he returns to the director's chair before he steps in front of the camera again - but that's anyone's guess.
