Since 2014, Washington has starred as the skilled former Marine, Robert McCall, inTheEqualizermovies.
However, afterthe peaceful ending of 2023’sTheEqualizer 3,the fate of the franchise became unclear.
With McCall happily retired in the Italian countryside, many assumed it would end there.
Fortunately, Washington recently confirmed that McCall’s story is not ending there.
In an interview withEsquire,Washington revealed two moreEqualizermoviesare currently in development.
They want me to go get the bad guys."
The Equalizer is a crime-focused action-thriller franchise initially created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim. The franchise began with the 1985 series that followed Robert McCall, a retired intelligence agent who uses his deadly and varied skillset to help those that society cannot save. The film franchise has stood out as the most iconic, with Denzel Washington in the role of the new Robert McCall, with a reboot television series starring Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall.
The Equalizermovies also bring a unique change to Washington’s career.
This is a good switch-up for Washington, especially because these movies are so beloved.
In 2014,The Equalizergrossed $192 million on a budget of $55-73 million.
Four years later,The Equalizer 2earned almost the same amount, $190 million on a similar budget.
Most recently,The Equalizer 3raked in $191 million on a strict budget of $70 million.
One way of doing this is by casting even bigger stars.
Earlier in 2024, Washington stated that he would be retiring after his upcoming projects.
Ultimately,it seems as though Washington has a busy schedule ahead of him.
