Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) takes on the Mafia in this third instalment
SONY
Reluctanthero Robert McCall first arrived on the big screen in 2014’s The Equalizer, an action thriller loosely based on the 1980s TV series of the same name. Helmed by Training Day’s Antoine Fuqua, the film starred Denzel Washington as the Good Samaritan who doles out justice to a crew of Russian gangsters. But Fuqua hadn’t envisioned this as the beginning of a trilogy. ‘I was just doing one film at a time,’ he says to Teasers. ‘After one I didn’t think about two. After two I certainly didn’t think about three.’
