What to Expect From ‘The Equalizer III’?
For the final chapter, director Antoine Fuqua takes us to Italy, where Robert is trying to find peace and quiet. He befriends a mother-daughter duo who are soon threatened by the local mafia. And fans know well that Robert McCall takes it very personally when his loved ones are threatened. So, viewers can expect to see the franchise’s signature action, and thrill unfold on screen as the former DIA officer imposes his own brand of justice.
Speaking of McCall’s changed attitude in the upcoming movie, Fuqua previously revealed, “He’s a little darker,” adding, “He has to find his way back to the light.” In the upcoming feature, Robert is looking to escape his brutal past, but it seems like he’ll have to fight for it.
