Denzel Washington is a star who has very few sequels in his career, besides The Equalizer 2 and 3, as well as devouring most of the scenes in Gladiator 2. Now, he could have another one on the cards with word from producer Jerry Bruckheimer that talks are in place for a sequel to Crimson Tide.

If he does board the project, Washington will need a new on-screen adversary. Hackman died in February at the age of 95. Tony Scott, the original director of “Crimson Tide,” and Robert Towne, one of its writers, have also died.

A 'Crimson Tide' sequel is in development, with Denzel Washington in talks to return. Jerry Bruckheimer confirms the project.
