He may be pushing 70 years old but the legend who is Denzel Washington is set for more ass-kicking adventures, not just in the Equalizer franchise but he’s joining the MCU too!
While many believed that Antoine Fuqua’s Equalizer 3 was the end of the trilogy as well as the end of Washington’s Robert McCall, it seems that nothing could be further from the truth.
“I told them I would do another Equalizer, and we’re doing four and five,” Washington has revealed in a new interview.

Going on, the star reveals that while the movies are big hits with fans and at the box office, “I’ve come to realise that the Equalizer films are for me, too, because they’re for the people. They want me to go get the bad guys. ‘We can’t get them, so you go get them.’ And I say, Okay, I’ll get them! Just wait right there. I’ll be right back!”
While it’s great to know that McCall is returning, many might be even more excited to learn that he’s also heading to Wakanda in the third Black Panther movie courtesy of director Ryan Coogler.
After revealing in a very matter-of-fact way in an interview (below), Washington has revealed a bit more about how it came about but reveals that he still has no idea what the role is exactly but he’s keen to find out: “I don’t even know what it is yet, he just said he was gonna write something. It’s all the Ryan Coogler [effect]. You know, Ryan talked to me about it, and I said ‘Whatever it is, I love you, go do it, and I’ll read it.’
“You know, I guess I didn’t ask for permission, but he came to me. So I called him yesterday, I was like ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was gonna happen like this.’ I don’t know why, I guess it is news or something. But the bottom line is I don’t even know what it is. If it’s one line, one scene or I really don’t. But I told him ‘Whatever it is I’ll do it,’ because it’s Ryan. And I love him and his wife.”
Well, we here at FTN HQ love Washington and will welcome more Equalizer movies and an MCU appearance with wide open arms.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
