Academy Award winner and Hollywood icon Denzel Washington is back in action as the mysterious avenger Robert McCall in the first trailer for the upcoming action movie sequel, The Equalizer 3. Released courtesy of Sony Pictures, The Equalizer 3 finds Washington seeking out a change of scenery and traveling to Europe in order to once again demonstrate his particular set of skills and sense of justice. Check out the newly released trailer for The Equalizer 3 below.
“Since giving up his life as a government assassin, Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) has struggled to reconcile the horrific things he’s done in the past and finds a strange solace in serving justice on behalf of the oppressed,” the synopsis for The Equalizer 3 reads. “Finding himself surprisingly at home in Southern Italy, he discovers his new friends are under the control of local crime bosses. As events turn deadly, McCall knows what he has to do: become his friends’ protector by taking on the mafia.”
The Equalizer 3 will reunite Denzel Washington with director Antoine Fuqua and writer Richard Wenk, with the rest of the cast comprised of Sonia Ben Ammar, Remo Girone, Andrea Dodero, Eugenio Mastrandrea, Andrea Scarduzio, Salvatore Ruocco, Daniele Perrone, and Gaia Scodellaro. The threequel will also reunite Washington with actress Dakota Fanning. The pair have not appeared on-screen together since their 2004 action thriller Man on Fire, with audiences no doubt loving seeing them back together again after all these years.
The Equalizer 3 Will Explore Robert McCall’s Mysterious Past
Not only will The Equalizer 3 take Washington’s action hero out of the United States, the sequel will also begin to delve into the mysterious past of former DIA officer Robert McCall. Thus, The Equalizer 3 will “hopefully, reveal a little more about Robert,” director Antoine Fuqua said of the movie. “Yeah, I think that’s the key, to learn more about Robert McCall.”
Released in 2014, the first installment in The Equalizer franchise reboots the 1980s TV series of the same name and follows Academy Award winner and Hollywood legend Denzel Washington as Robert McCall, a man of mysterious origin who believes he has put his violent past behind him and has dedicated himself to a quiet new life. Of course, these quiet lives never work out in action movies, and when Robert meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a teenager in an impossible situation and under the control of vicious Russian mobsters, Robert simply cannot walk away. Using his pormidable skills, McCall comes out of self-imposed retirement and emerges as an avenging angel, ready to take down anyone who brutalizes the helpless.
Despite some mixed reviews, The Equalizer was a big success with audiences, grossing over $192 million at the box office and leading to The Equalizer 2 in 2018. The follow-up sees Robert set out on a path of revenge that’s a lot more personal after one of his friends is murdered and was once again a big hit at the box office, grossing $190 million worldwide.
The Equalizer 3 is set to be released on September 1, 2023, by Sony Pictures Releasing.
