Multiple Oscar nominee Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua are reteaming for the epic Hannibal drama for Netflix.

Fuqua will direct the film based on a script by John Logan, with Washington also producing. There’s no word on Washington’s role in the movie based on the real-life warrior Hannibal, but expect lots of characters atop elephants crossing the Alps.

Washington and Fuqua already had outings on 2001’s Training Day, 2014’s The Equalizer and 2018’s The Equalizer 2.

The Netflix movie will cover pivotal battles against the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War fought between the two great empires of Rome and Carthage.

Washington first collaborated with the Hollywood filmmaker on his feature directorial debut, The Replacement Killers in 1988.

They duo also worked together on the third edition of the Equalizer franchise.

Washington is a double Oscar winner for Glory (1989) and Training Day (2001), and more recent credits include The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021).

Washington is also in negotiations to reteam with Ridley Scott on the Gladiator sequel. The duo previously worked together on 2007 movie American Gangster. Washington would join Paul Mescal, who would lead the movie, and Barry Keoghan.
