Future Expectations
There are plans to make a prequel film on the beginnings of Robert McCall, the character played by Denzel Washington. Director Antoine Fuqua has proposed employing de-aging technology to make Washington seem younger, as well as considering performers like John David Washington or Michael B. Jordan for the part.

It will be interesting to observe what the future holds for the Equaliser fans.
