In recent years, the cinema has offered a few action sagas that have captured the attention of the public. Without a doubt, “John Wick” has stood out in this genre, but in 2014, Denzel Washington surprised everyone by starring in “The Equalizer,” a film adaptation of a hit series from the 80s. The success of this first installment paved the way for the even more impressive “The Equalizer 2,” and finally, after barely four years, the third installment has been given the green light.
Now, we delve into everything that has been revealed about “The Equalizer 3,” a film that will mark the last performance of Denzel Washington as Robert McCall. This article will be kept updated as more details emerge.
As for the plot, the plot of “The Equalizer 3” has not been revealed so far, but director Antoine Fuqua hinted at the possibility of exploring a more international approach to the story. Screenwriter Richard Wenk could have taken this idea into account when writing the film.
The release date of “The Equalizer 3” is scheduled for September 1, 2023, distributed by Sony and exclusively in movie theaters. Currently, there don’t appear to be any significant competitors that could challenge its dominance in its opening weekend.
As for the cast, Denzel Washington returns as the main lead, once again embodying his appreciation for McCall’s character. His collaboration with Dakota Fanning stands out, with whom he previously shared the screen in the movie “The Fire of Vengeance,” exhibiting remarkable acting chemistry.
In addition to Washington and Fanning, the cast includes Sonia Ben Ammar, Remo Girone, Andrea Dodero, Eugenio Mastrandrea, Andrea Scarduzio, Salvatore Ruocco, Daniele Perrone, and Gaia Scodellaro.
The direction of “The Equalizer 3” is once again in the hands of Antoine Fuqua, who thus brings together his fifth collaboration with Denzel Washington as the main figure. His track record as a director is highlighted by movies like “Training Day,” “The Magnificent Seven,” and the previous installments of this franchise.
Outside the scope of “The Equalizer,” Fuqua’s filmography includes titles such as “Shooter: The Shooter,” “Target: The White House,” and “Guilty,” in addition to his contribution to the first episode of “The Final List.” Currently, he is immersed in the post-production of “Emancipation,” known as “To Freedom,” a historical thriller for Apple TV + that suffered delays due to the Will Smith incident at the last Oscar ceremony.
