Dakota Fanning Reunites With ‘Man On Fire’ Co-Star Denzel Washington In Sony’s ‘Equalizer 3’
EXCLUSIVE: It’s been nearly 20 years since their hit action thriller Man On Fire blew away audiences and further helped solidify Dakota Fanning as a future star but it now looks like she is ready to reteam with the Oscar Winning Denzel Washington. Sources tell Deadline Fanning is set to star opposite Washington in Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 3 for Sony Pictures.
Written by Richard Wenk, the film is being produced by Escape Artists’ Academy Award nominee Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch and Washington. While the plot is being kept under wraps, the film is the third film in The Equalizer series, directed by Fuqua and starring Washington. The first film earned over $194 million worldwide, leading to a sequel, which grossed over $190 million worldwide. The film will be released in theaters on September 1, 2023.
While Man On Fire cleared the way for Washington to kicking ass in future films like the Equalizer series, the film is just as well known for the touching scenes between Washington and Fanning where he plays her loyal and caring bodyguard and Sony and Fuqua saw this as the perfect opportunity to reunite the two talents.
I’m a simple guy; I see an angry Denzel killing people movie, I like.
Yeah Denzel no plot + violence works. I like this series a lot more than John Wick.
Same, as far as conventional action movies go I thought both the Equalizers were fairly solid. Basic and on the very very predictable side, but my man Denzel is capable of making the character look believable despite the fact that it's typical brainless(tm) over-the-top stuff. Hopefully it won't completely yield to the green pear like it happened to the poor John.
I'm guessing we'll get the same formula, hope they don't go over the top. I think that's my problem with Action genre these days, most are massively over the top - Bollywood superhero movies.
