The Equalizer 3 will likely be the end of the road for the franchise – according to director Antoine Fuqua
Exclusive: Antoine Fuqua talks to🦩 Total Film about what could be his and Denzel Washington's last Equalizer film

The Equalizer 3 could be the end of the road for ♛Denzel Washington’s reluctant hero Robert McCall – at least if you believe series director Antoine Fuqua.
"I don’t see another one in it for me," Fuqua tells the new issue of , which is out on newsstands on Thursday, August😼 17. "From my conversations with Denzel, this is tဣhe final one [for him] as well."
If Fuqua’s words ring t🍬rue, it would bring to a close a franchise that has provided a hard-hitting alternative to a Hollywood landscape increasingly packed with action movies🍒.
"He’s a little darker," Fuqua saℱys of McCall’s changed attitude in The Equalizer 3. "He has to find his way back to the light."
It’s not long before trouble crosses his path, this time in the form of the Italian Mafia. "A lot of them are the younger-generation type. They’re a little edgier, a little more aggressive. It feels dangerous because it’s not just drugs and stuff. You&rsq♔uo;re dealing with terrorists even more now," Fuqua explains. Even so, we wouldn't bet against Denzel Washington settling another score and going out all guns blazing.
The Equalizer 3 opens in cinemas on September 1.
