The action-packed sequel is just the kind of adrenaline rush I need after a day filled with family gatherings and holiday cheer.
If you’re not in the mood for traditional Christmas films this holiday season, don’t worry! You’ll have something exciting to look forward to instead.

Under the guidance of director Antoine Fuqua, the movie titled “The Equalizer 2” brings together Fuqua and Denzel Washington once again, following their collaboration in the 2014 action film “The Equalizer“. Originating from a television series with the same name, this sequel finds Denzel Washington in the lead role alongside Pedro Pascal, Ashton Sanders, Melissa Leo, Bill Pullman, and Orson Bean. In the storyline, the vigilante character portrayed by Washington seeks justice and revenge when his friend meets an untimely demise. Stream “The Equalizer 2” on Prime Video starting from December 25. For a detailed overview of the plot, check out the official synopsis provided below.
If you find yourself in a tight spot with no other options, the enigmatic and elusive Robert McCall will provide the vigilante justice that you need. In this story, however, McCall’s past becomes deeply personal as his close friend and former colleague, Susan Plummer, is brutally murdered by a group of ruthless assassins. With a thirst for vengeance now burning within him, McCall must confront this deadly crew who will go to extreme lengths to eliminate him.
Two More ‘The Equalizer’ Sequels Are Now in the Works
Denzel Washington returned to the role of Robert McCall last year for The Equalizer 3 which, at the time, was marketed as the final outing in the action trilogy. The threequel finds Robert settling down in a small town in Southern Italy, but when his new neighborhood is threatened by the Mafia, Robert must once again call upon his particular set of skills to keep the peace and the people safe.
The third installment of “The Equalizer,” titled “The Equalizer 3,”, garnered the franchise’s most favorable critical reception, earning a rating of 76% on Rotten Tomatoes. This surpasses the initial film’s 61% and the sequel’s “rotten” 52%. Despite speculations that it was the end, Denzel Washington has now confirmed that two more movies are under development.
“I promised another Equalizer movie and we’re currently working on numbers four and five. Many people are thrilled about this – they really enjoy the Equalizer series, but I’ve come to understand that these films aren’t just for the audience; they’re also for me since they allow me to fight the villains. The audience wants me to take down the bad guys, and when they say ‘We can’t get them, so you go get them,’ my response is always ‘I’ll get them! Just hold on.’ I’ll return shortly.
It’s reassuring to learn that Washington intends to continue with action roles, as we would keep anticipating him to take down the villains indefinitely, which is fantastic news indeed.
