As a longtime fan and admirer of Denzel Washington‘s exceptional talent, I couldn’t be more thrilled about his decision to reprise the role of Robert McCall in not one, but two more installments of “The Equalizer” franchise! This man is an icon, and his ability to deliver justice on the big screen never fails to captivate audiences.
The action film enthusiasts are thrilled because it’s official: He will appear in two more films within the franchise. The Academy Award-winner is now featured in Ridley Scott’s sequel Gladiator II, and there are rumors about him joining Black Panther 3. However, it seems his schedule won’t be too packed to reprise the character Robert McCall on the big screen again. In the recent issue of Esquire, Washington himself revealed this exciting news.
In simpler terms, “I promised to make another Equalizer film and we’re working on four and five. Many people are excited about this – they really enjoy the Equalizer series. However, I’ve recognized that these films aren’t just for the audience, but for me as well because they allow me to fight against the bad guys. They need me to do it, so I say, ‘I’ll go get them!’ Just wait here, I’ll be back soon!
Many fans speculated that Washington’s third portrayal as the justice-dispensing McCall in 2023 would mark his final appearance, but it seems those concerns were misplaced. The movie concludes with McCall settling into a peaceful life, yet we can all sense that one troublesome villain seeking him out is all it takes to reignite the chaos once more.
It’s Washington who first hinted at the possibility of more Equalizer films being produced, but there aren’t many specifics known yet. It’s probable that Director Fuqua will continue to lead these movies, and if both films have received the go-ahead, they might be filmed consecutively as the actor has implied.
Denzel Washington is Joining the MCU
It’s going to be quite challenging for Denis to step back into the role of Robert McCall, considering that any future films will need to surpass the impressive 94% audience rating that “The Equalizer 3” earned. However, the franchise has enjoyed immense popularity over the years, with its initial release still being a hit on streaming platforms as it celebrates its decade-long anniversary.
Lately, it’s been announced that Washington is set to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a move that might surprise some, given many top-tier actors usually avoid superhero franchises. However, it seems he’s been lured in by the upcoming sequel of the Black Panther series. He commented on his unexpected role:
“Ryan talked to me about it. I said, ‘Whatever it is, I love you. Go do it, and I’ll read it.'”
It appears that Black Panther 3 hasn’t been officially announced by Marvel Studios yet, which suggests that Lupita Nyong’o might have disclosed some information prematurely with her reveal. She further clarified that Ryan Coogler is still in the process of writing the script for the film.
“I haven’t the slightest idea about what he’ll be writing. All he told me was that he intended to write something. It seems I didn’t seek his approval. Yet, unexpectedly, he approached me.
It appears that Washington’s upcoming years will likely be filled with numerous projects, and while it might seem he’s violating the first rule in Hollywood by announcing these movies before they’ve been officially confirmed as in development, there’s no doubt that fans won’t be let down to learn that more of these widely-adored hits are on their way.
