During CinemaCon on April 24th, Denzel Washington debuted the official trailer for The Equalizer 3. The upcoming action film, set to release in theaters on September 1st, features Washington as Robert McCall, a ruthless hitman who dispenses his own brand of justice. Fans of Washington will also see him reunite with Dakota Fanning, who appeared alongside him in the 2004 film Man on Fire.
The trailer begins by showing glimpses of Denzel Washington's character's new life in Italy, where he has distanced himself from his violent past. But circumstances change, and he eventually decides to take action into his own hands.
The team behind The Equalizer 3 includes producers Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Denzel Washington, Antoine Fuqua, Steve Tisch, Clayton Townsend, Alex Siskin, and Tony Eldridge, with David Bloomfield, Tarak Ben Ammar, and Andy Mitchell serving as executive producers. The movie was directed by Fuqua, written by Richard Wenk, and adapted from the TV series created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim. "The Equalizer 3" marks Antoine Fuqua's third time directing in the franchise, having previously directed The Equalizer and The Equalizer 2.
The movie franchise, titled The Equalizer, originated from the CBS series that aired in the 1980s. The first film was released in 2014, and its sequel premiered in 2018. In 2021, CBS relaunched the original series, featuring Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall. The third season of the rebooted series will wrap up on May 21, and the fourth season is scheduled to debut in the fall.
Following the premiere of the film's trailer at CinemaCon, Denzel Washington was unexpectedly presented with a lifetime achievement award by Sony film executive Tom Rothman. “True movie stars matter more than ever,” Rothman said. “They are just rarer than ever. Streaming doesn’t create movie stars, only global hits do.”
