Denzel’s Best Movie is Blowing Up on Hulu

Despite having two Oscars under his belt, Denzel Washington is connected to only one movie franchise. Notably, this franchise is gaining significant popularity, as evidenced by its current position at number twelve among all the films streaming on Hulu in the United States.

The upcoming 2023 movie trilogy ranks higher than “The Heat,” “Just Go with It,” and “F Marry Kill,” which currently hold positions 13, 14, and 15 respectively. On the Hulu chart, “Wrath of Man” starring Jason Statham holds the number one spot.

In “The Equalizer 3,” Denzel Washington once again takes on the character of Robert McCall, who, having retired from his previous life as a government hitman, seeks redemption for his past deeds. The movie finds McCall settling into a new existence in sunny southern Italy. However, his peaceful life is disrupted when he learns that some of his newly-made acquaintances are being tormented by the Camorra – a ruthless criminal organization known for bullying and murdering innocent individuals.

Washington: “They Want Me to Go Get the Bad Guys”

The popularity of the Equalizer series has led to two additional movies, with Washington expressing his desire to make them not just for himself, but also for the fans. He explained, “I’ve come to understand that the Equalizer films are significant to me as well, because they resonate with the audience.

Washington stated that they asked him to fetch the villains. His response was, ‘I can’t do it, so you go get them.’ But he agreed, saying, ‘Alright, I’ll grab them!’ So just stay put, I’ll be back in no time!” The actor also mentioned that the upcoming Equalizer films are of high importance to him.

I’ve got plans set for the next few years. I’ve mentioned doing another Equalizer series, and we’re currently working on parts 4 and 5. There’s a lot of excitement about this – people really enjoy those Equalizer movies. For me, it’s all about keeping things fresh. I sometimes think, ‘One project for myself, one for the audience,'” Washington explained.
