The Equalizer 3 Is Reuniting Denzel Washington With A Famous Co-Star After Nearly Two Decades

For most of his career, Denzel Washington wasn’t an actor who did sequels, but he eventually made an exception for the Equalizer movies. Following his first outing as Robert McCall in 2014, Washington reprised the role four years later, and back in January, the actor revealed that The Equalizer 3 is moving forward. Now Washington’s first co-star in the upcoming movie has been revealed, and it’s someone he worked with almost two decades ago.

One of Denzel Washington’s earlier action outings, 2004’s Man on Fire, followed his character, a former CIA operative named John W. Creasy, serving as a bodyguard for a young girl named Lupita, who was played by Dakota Fanning. Well, Deadline reports that Washington and Fanning are reuniting in The Equalizer 3. No details about Fanning’s character were revealed, but it’s a good bet it that Washington’s Robert McCall will follow in Creasy’s footsteps and strike up a friendly relationship with her.
