Robert McCall will put his deadly set of skills to use at least one more time when he returns for The Equalizer 3. Loosely based on the 1980s CBS series starring Edward Woodward, The Equalizer movies have served as successful action vehicles for Denzel Washington. The actor, who has long been one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, is set to turn the Equalizer franchise into a full trilogy in the very near future.
Released during an era where movies about retired assassins and stories centered around vigilante justice have found an increased level of popularity, 2014’s The Equalizer was a big box office hit and a record-breaking R-rated film that led to a 2018 sequel. Though both director Antoine Fuqua and Washington appeared to be on board with a potential third installment when the second movie released, a lack of announcements cast some doubts on the studio’s confidence in the franchise’s future. However, official confirmation that The Equalizer 3 is in development finally came in January 2022, thus putting these concerns to rest.
