Director Antoine Fuqua initially considered a deeper romantic subplot for Denzel Washington's character in The Equalizer 3, but test screenings showed it would be seen as a betrayal of his late wife.
The film focuses on McCall's journey to restore balance between good and evil, following the death of his wife, Vivienne, and explores his struggle to move forward with his life.
While the latest installment didn't perform well at the box office, director Antoine Fuqua is open to a potential fourth installment if Denzel Washington agrees to it.
