Two-time Oscar winning actor Denzel Washington returns as the trained government assassin turned vigilante Robert McCall in The Equalizer 3. Sony Pictures released the official trailer for the Antoine Fuqua-directed action thriller on Tuesday (April 25).
In the third installment, McCall travels to a town in Southern Italy to find his peace only to witness a crime mob run a muck amongst family-oriented civilians. In McCall fashion, he can’t sit by idly, taking justice in his own hands.
Along with Washington and Fuqua, Richard Wenk, writer of The Equalizer and The Equalizer 2, also returns for the final entry to the franchise. The films are based on the television series created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim.
The Equalizer 3 features Dakota Fanning on the heels of her role in the Showtime TV series The First Lady, in addition to David Denman (The Recruit), Sonia Ammar (Scream), Gaia Scodellaro (Promises), and Reno Girone (My Name Is Vendetta).
The Columbia Pictures film will be the first to unite Washington and Fanning since their roles in the 2004 film, Man On Fire, directed by the late Tony Scott.
