The Equalizer 2 Gets 2018 Release Date

Writer-director Antoine Fuqua is beginning to redirect his attention toward The Equalizer 2, an action sequel that will herald a reunion with lead star Denzel Washington after the creative duo made off into the sunset to remake The Magnificent Seven in 2016.

Fuqua has not only signed a first-look deal with Sony, but The Equalizer 2 has now set its crosshairs on a September 14th, 2018 release. Production kicks off in the fall, though Antoine Fuqua is also keeping a close eye on a long-brewing passion project of his: a picture revolving around Fred Hampton, the Black Panthers revolutionary who headed the Illinois chapter of the BPP and was deputy chairman of the national organization.

It’ll be the first time Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington are actively involved in a movie sequel, and for that reason alone, you can color us intrigued. September 14th, 2018 is the date for your diaries.
