The Equalizer 4 & 5

DENZEL WASHINGTON to film EQUALIZER 4 & 5!

There have been numerous rumors and speculation about Denzel Washington’s possible retirement from the Acting Business. Been there, done that and already being extremely particular about the projects he does take on, does make you wonder how much longer he will continue to make movies. Denzel just turned 70 years old last December, and has been acting for almost 50 years. He made his acting debut in the 1977 tv movie Wilma. He has been nominated and won numerous awards throughout his acting career.

When Denzel Washington and Director Antoine Fuqua made The Equalizer 3, they both stated that that was the end of the franchise. Denzel said they might decide to do another one, possibly a prequel, but he wouldn’t be in it. It is the end of the road for Robert McCall, he is tired of fighting and he found a place in Equalizer 3 he could call home and retire with a possible love interest in the quaint little Italian seaside town.

But according to an interview with Esquire Magazine dated November 19, 2024 Denzel Washington said:

“I told them we would do another Equalizer, and we’re doing 4 & 5. People are happy about that, they love those daggone Equalizers. But I’ve come to realize that they are for me too, because they’re for the people. They want me to get the bad guys. “We can’t get them so you go get them.” And I say…”Okay, I’ll go get them. Just wait right there and I’ll be right back.”

HURRY BACK DENZEL!

As of this date there is no other official word on Equalizer 4 & 5. Given that there were 4 and 5 years between the other two sequels, it will be quite some time before we do hear of any projected timeline for production. Equalizer 3 came out in 2023 so it might be 2027 or 2028 before we do see another Equalizer movie. It makes you wonder what the next Equalizer would look like.
