The Equalizer’s Queen Latifah Teases Crossover With Original Film Star Denzel Washington

CBS’ action-packed drama The Equalizer made its highly anticipated return to screens with series three. With Queen Latifah’s comeback as the no-nonsense Robyn McCall in the hit adaptation, the actress revealed she would love to work with the star of the film franchise.

This iteration of The Equalizer first premiered in 2021 and became a hit among those who were fans of the original 2014 film. 

The adapted series followed former CIA operative Robyn who teamed up with other professionals to solve Jewel Machado’s (played by Lorna Courtney) case after she was framed for murder.

Despite the main tweak of Queen Latifah being a woman, the main premise of the storyline is related to the original movie.

As Denzel stars as Bob McCall who used his skill as a former Marine and DIA operative to protect the citizens of Boston.

With the recent release of The Equalizer series three and The Equalizer Three expected for release in 2023, fans shared hopes of a potential crossover between both projects. 

When quizzed, Latifah revealed: “That’s up to D, it’s really between him and Antoine [Fuqua]. “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.”

The actress teased: “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.”

Latifah told Variety: “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.”

As Denzel’s appearance in season three would come as a welcomed surprise for fans, other A-listers have also made a guest appearance. 

During season two, Jada Pinkett Smith starred as Jessie Cook, Robyn’s former colleague and a prolific thief.
