Queen Latifah plays CIA agent turned vigilante Robyn McCall on the hit CBS series The Equalizer, a reimagining of the character originally played by the late Edward Woodward in the original 1980s series. That show also inspired The Equalizer films starring Denzel Washington, which has some fans wondering if the two McCalls will ever meet on screen, especially now that The Equalizer 3 is in the works.

Will Denzel Washington Eventually Appear on CBS's Equalizer?

In a May 2022 interview with Variety, Latifah discussed the potential of Washington appearing on The Equalizer.

"That's up to D," she said. "It's really between him and Antoine [Fuqua, the director of The Equalizer movies]. Obviously, I love him to pieces. I have the greatest amount of respect for him. What he's done with the films has been incredible, and I'd be more than happy to connect with him on any level. It's just kind of like that with us."

Washington isn't expected to appear on The Equalizer any time soon, but Latifah isn't completely discounting the possibility.

"So, who knows what's gonna happen? Who knows what could happen, but, I'm looking forward to whatever he's gonna do, because I know when he gets in the zone, it gets in the zone," she said. "I'm gonna keep doing TVs Robyn McCall and let him keep rocking the movie version of McCall; I know we'll both continue to deliver."

Latifah and Washington previously appeared together in the 1999 picture The Bone Collector.

The Equalizer 3 Details

The director told SlashFilm that the third Equalizer film will "reveal a little more about Robert."

"Yeah, I think that's the key, to learn more about Robert McCall," he went on to say. "We're shooting it in Italy, so that'd be fun. We're going to scout now. Sardinia, probably show up somewhere up the Amalfi Coast. Also, trying to find some small villages, seaside villages, things like that, and then we'll be in Sicily and Naples."

The last movie of The Equalizer series was released in 2018. A third film is currently in the works, with Washington reprising his role as Robert McCall. Dakota Fanning, who co-starred with Fuqua in the 2004 hit Man on Fire, will also appear in the film.
