*Sony revealed the hotly anticipated trailer for “The Equalizer 3” as part of their CinemaCon presentation this week in Las Vegas.
Denzel Washinton returns for the third installment in the beloved action movie franchise, and once again he’s protecting Dakota Fanning from bad guys.
Per the official synopsis, “Since giving up his life as a government assassin, Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) has struggled to reconcile the horrific things he’s done in the past and finds a strange solace in serving justice on behalf of the oppressed. Finding himself surprisingly at home in Southern Italy, he discovers his new friends are under the control of local crime bosses. As events turn deadly, McCall knows what he has to do: become his friends’ protector by taking on the mafia.”
Directed by Antoine Fuqua, “The Equalizer 3” will debut exclusively in theaters on September 1. Check out the trailer below.

As TheWrap reports, “The Equalizer 2” earned $190 million at the box office in 2018 compared to “The Equalizer” which earned $193 million in 2014.
Washington was on hand when the trailer for the third film premiered Monday at CinemaCon.
“I thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Washington told a Colosseum full of exhibition executives, Deadline reports.
The star received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the event, which was presented by Fuqua during Sony’s presentation.
“We would be nothing without you all. We’re here for you. We’re here because of you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been blessed beyond measure,” Washington said upon receiving the honor.
Fuqua said Washington “doesn’t like being called a movie star… I think audiences have come to know what to expect from Denzel, a sense of honor, dignity and morals, commitment to what’s right and determination to see that through.”
