“The Equalizer,” a violent action thriller largely based on a 1980s television drama, was released in 2014. Denzel Washington plays Robert McCall, a former Marine and Defense Intelligence Agent who uses his physical and mental power to assist those who have no one else to turn to. His under-the-table dealings frequently result in violent clashes across Massachusetts, as well as infrequently internationally. Antione Fuqua’s film was so popular that a sequel.
“The Equalizer 2,” was announced for 2018. While the picture came close to matching the first in terms of box office and critical reception (according to Rotten Tomatoes) and had an open ending that allowed for more adventures, there has been no word on sequels since its debut. Fans’ trust is beginning to be rewarded, as some interesting information about “The Equalizer 3,” which is, in fact, coming, have broken.
When will The Equalizer 3 come out?
Sony has set Friday, September 1, 2023 as the official release date for “The Equalizer 3.” (via Variety). This puts it in the same league as the previous picture, which was released on September 26, 2014 in the United States, whereas “The Equalizer 2” was released on July 20, 2018, though its summer release date didn’t help it outperform its predecessor monetarily (via BoxOfficeMojo). However, if the picture earns a R rating from the MPAA, as did the prior two films, this release date positions the film to be a Labor Day weekend favourite among adult audiences (via FilmRatings).
Labor Day in 2023 is on September 4th. With a release date of just over a year away, filming is expected to begin as early as fall 2022. “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” directed by Joel Coen and co-starring Frances McDormand, was Denzel Washington’s most recent project. Washington was nominated for an Academy Award for best actor, one of three nods for the Apple TV+ film (via IMDb). Who will be in Equalizer 3? For “The Equalizer 3,” Denzel Washington will resume his role as Robert McCall. However, because almost none of the supporting cast members survived the original picture, it’s not hard to imagine the same fate befalling the cast of “The Equalizer 2.”
Melissa Leo’s Susan Plummer is the only supporting character who appears in both films so far, however she is brutally murdered in the second film, which is what motivates McCall to embark on the murderous expedition in the first place. With the exception of a flashback scene, we shouldn’t expect to see her in the third film.
There have been no formal casting announcements, but if the picture serves as a trilogy finale, we might very likely see the return of Chloe Grace-Teri Moretz’s and Ashton Sanders’ Miles, as both of those characters survive their films and end up on good terms with McCall. Such appearances may bring to mind situations in which McCall’s brutal brand of justice aided others. What will Equalizer 3 be about? Although Antoine Fuqua’s involvement has not been confirmed, his presence is likely. He directed the first two “The Equalizer” films, as well as directing Denzel Washington to an Oscar with “Training Day” in 2001, for which Washington won best actor.
The Will Smith-starring “Emancipation” for Apple TV+ (via Deadline) is Fuqua’s next project, albeit a release date has yet to be determined. In a 2018 interview with Collider to promote “The Equalizer 2,” Fuqua stated that if a third picture was made, he would like to take McCall abroad, specifically to Europe. McCall returned to his beachfront home somewhere in Massachusetts at the end of “The Equalizer 2.”
He lived there with his now-deceased wife. The third film is expected to begin in this location before sending him across the ocean. Washington confirmed to Collider that a script for the third film has been created while doing press interviews for “The Tragedy of Macbeth” in early 2022. While the screenwriter for the first two films has not been announced, it could be Richard Wenk, who also wrote “The Expendables 2,” “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back,” and “The Protégé”.
