Marvel has not officially confirmed that a third film is in the works, but Washington, speaking to Australia's 'Today' show, says that the director is crafting a role for him.

Denzel Washington is retiring after his next few projects, he said in a recent interview. He is currently on a promo run for his role in Gladiator II, which releases in theaters this month. The Academy Award-winning actor said on the Australian version of the TODAY show that he has a few more roles left before he withdraws from the acting world.
