4. Untitled Hannibal Film (TBA)
Denzel Washington is teaming up with his ‘Training Day’ and ‘Equalizer’ director Antoine Fuqua for a yet-untitled Netflix movie based on the life of the real-life ancient Carthaginian general Hannibal, one of the greatest military commanders in history. Based on a script by John Logan, the historical war drama will cover the pivotal battles Hannibal led against the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War (218 to 201 BC).
Under Hannibal’s lead, the Carthage forces invaded Italy and won key victories against the Romans, allowing him to occupy a majority of southern Italy for 15 years. However, Hannibal was eventually defeated by the Romans at the Battle of Zama when they counter-invaded North Africa. Welket Bungué has also been cast in an undisclosed role. The film is in its pre-production stage, and details regarding the rest of the cast and production of this epic project are eagerly awaited.
