Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua team up again in “The Equalizer 3”

Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua team up for the fifth time in “The Equalizer 3,” which ties Fuqua with the late Tony Scott as Washington’s most frequent director collaborator. 

Washington says there are many reasons why he looks forward to reteaming with Fuqua: “His spiritual maturity, his collaboration, his humility, his eye,” says the actor. “There was never a question about his talent, his experience. We’re brothers – I trust him completely, he trusts me, and I'm excited about our future together. The deeper he goes, the higher he’ll go, and I'm not talking about movies.”

Fuqua returns the compliment: “Denzel constantly surprises me because the environment changes. He’s like an athlete,” says Fuqua of Washington. “If Michael Jordan is playing against the Celtics, it’s one game. If he’s playing against the Lakers, it’s another game. Each situation Denzel is in, he’s so much in the moment of the character, that there’s times I’m discovering constantly, ‘What’s he going to do?’”

REEL DEAL:L “THE EQUALIZER” Serves Up New Images

The main poster art and new stills from Columbia Pictures' upcoming gritty crime thriller “The Equalizer” has just been released. The film stars Denzel Washington and Chloe Grace Moretz, under the direction of Antoine Fuqua (“Olympus Has Fallen”).

In “The Equalizer,” Washington plays McCall, a former black ops commando who has faked his death to live a quiet life in Boston. When he comes out of his self-imposed retirement to rescue a young girl, Teri (Moretz), he finds himself face to face with ultra-violent Russian gangsters. As he serves vengeance against those who brutalize the helpless, McCall’s desire for justice is reawakened. If someone has a problem, the odds are stacked against them, and they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

An adaptation of the 1980s TV show of the same name, “The Equalizer” also stars Melissa Leo, Bill Pullman, Haley Bennett and Marton Cskokas.
