Nevertheless, as Antoine Fuqua told THR, Sony has already brought up the idea of making The Equalizer 3 to Fuqua, so that could bode well for the threequel moving forward.
But even if that doesn’t pan out, clearly Fuqua is interested in teaming up with Denzel Washington again, regardless of the project.
Based on the Equalizer television series that aired from 1985 to 1989, the Equalizer movies have been met with mixed critical reactions, while commercially, the first movie made over $192 million worldwide.
Right now, as it enters its third week in theaters, The Equalizer 2 is sitting at over $74 million worldwide, so it seems unlikely that the sequel will accumulate the same amount of green as its predecessor did.
