One frame per year from 1992 to 2026, filled where a credit lands, empty where none does. The empty frames are the informative part: a filmography is usually described by its total, and the total is the one thing that hides the gaps.

The sequels these films set up
- Constantine 2 , follows Constantine, in development
The shape of the career
The first credit on record is 1992 and the most recent is 2026, with work in 24 separate years. 2019 was the busiest single year, with 4 credits landing in it, the kind of cluster that usually reflects films shot earlier arriving at once rather than an unusually productive twelve months.
The longest gap runs 3 years, between 1994 and 1997. A gap that size in a screen filmography is worth noticing rather than smoothing over: it is where the record stops describing a run of work and starts describing whatever happened instead, a project that collapsed, a move into other media, or simply nothing being offered.
Reading the list
45 credits across 24 working years averages out at roughly 1.9 per year in the years with any work at all, a figure worth treating carefully, because release dates bunch and a filmography is a record of when films came OUT rather than when they were made. Of the 45 credits, 10 carry a character name, so the rest are placed by film and year alone.
What this page is built from
Structured film records, pulled by the same process that produces the cast pages here, not written from memory, which for credit data is how errors get in. What that source is reliable about is who was credited. What it carries unevenly is character names, and what it almost never carries is billing order, so nothing here calls any of these 45 credits a lead role, because the data cannot support that claim.
Questions about Djimon Hounsou
How many films has Djimon Hounsou been in?
45 credited film roles are on record, running from 1992 to 2026. That counts feature credits only, so television and uncredited appearances are not included.
When was Djimon Hounsou most active in film?
The 2010s, with 16 of the 45 credits. The full spread across decades is listed above.
Why are some roles missing?
Character names are recorded for 10 of the 45 credits. The source is reliable about who was cast and patchy about what they were called, so the rest say the role is not recorded instead of leaving a blank that reads like an oversight.
Was Djimon Hounsou in a film that got a sequel?
Yes — Constantine, whose follow-up Constantine 2 is in development. The tracker carries the evidence behind each of those verdicts.
Where do these details come from?
Structured film records pulled from Wikidata by the same process that builds the cast pages here, cross-checked against each film's own listed cast rather than written from memory. Where the record is thin — a missing character name, an unconfirmed billing order — the page says so, which is more useful than a confident sentence with nothing behind it.
