"The Equalizer' is BACK"

 

Denzel Washington as "The Equalizer'

Like the 'John Wick' franchise, which is scheduled for a 5th series film, 'The Equalizer' will return with 4th and 5th sequels. 

Although it was thought that Denzel Washington, who stars as Robert McCall in the series, was not in favor of any more sequels after the 3rd Equalizer, it has now been reported that the $573 million franchise will be returning to the big screen.

"We've come to realize that the Equalizer films are for me, too, because they're for the people. They want me to get the bad guys," says Washington.

This is good news for an 'Equalizer' fan, like me. For Washington, the McCall anti-hero role, provides him the franchise series he never had. Known for his serious dramatic roles, the 'Equalizer' role is much less demanding but are guaranteed box office successes.

The past films have co-starred lesser, but very good, B-list actors, i.e. Dakota Fanning, but the next two films can cast bigger stars to supplement Washington and provide bigger box office bank. It is not known if Fanning will return in the 4th and 5th installments.
