The Equalizer 2
The Equalizer 2 (also promoted as The Equalizer II and EQ2) is a 2018 American vigilante action-thriller film directed by Antoine Fuqua. It is the sequel to the 2014 film The Equalizer, which was based on the TV series of the same name, as well as the second installment of The Equalizer trilogy. The film stars Denzel Washington in the lead role, Pedro Pascal, Ashton Sanders, Melissa Leo, Bill Pullman, and Orson Bean in his final film role. It follows Marine Corps veteran and retired DIA officer Robert McCall as he sets out on a path of revenge after an associate is murdered. The film is the fourth collaboration between Washington and Fuqua, following Training Day (2001), The Equalizer (2014), and The Magnificent Seven (2016), and marks the first time Washington has starred in a sequel to one of his films.
Talks of a sequel began seven months before the first film was released. The project was officially announced in April 2015. Filming began in September 2017 and took place in Boston and other areas in Massachusetts.
The Equalizer 2 was released in the United States on July 20, 2018, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mixed reviews and was a commercial success, like its predecessor, grossing $190 million worldwide. Another sequel, The Equalizer 3, was released on September 1, 2023.
After taking down Pushkin's operations, Robert McCall works as a driver and assists the less fortunate with the help of his close friend and former DIA colleague Susan Plummer. Robert travels to Istanbul to retrieve a kidnapped 9-year-old.
With Susan's assistance, Robert gathers information for Sam Rubinstein, an elderly Holocaust survivor looking to recover a painting of his long-dead sister. After Robert returns home to find that his apartment's courtyard has been vandalized, he accepts an offer from Miles Whittaker, a troubled teen resident with artistic talent, to paint a mural on the walls. Robert also helps one of his passengers, a young woman named Amy, who shows signs of having been drugged and assaulted. He takes her to the hospital and returns to brutally beat the men who attacked her.
Susan and DIA officer Dave York, Robert's former partner, are called to investigate the murder-suicide of an agency affiliate and his wife in Brussels. Susan is accosted in her hotel room and killed during what seems to be a robbery. Robert determines that the expertly delivered fatal knifing means that Susan was targeted and that the murder-suicide was also staged.
Robert reveals to Dave that he is still alive and informs him of his findings. When Robert is attacked by an assassin posing as a passenger, he kills the man and retrieves his mobile phone, discovering Dave's number on its call list. Robert confronts Dave at his home. Dave confesses that soon after McCall's supposed death, their unit was disbanded by the government. He and the rest of the team became contract killers. Dave says that he killed Susan because she would have figured out that he was behind the Brussels killings.
When Robert leaves Dave's house, he confronts his teammates: Kovac, Ari, and Resnik. Before departing, he promises to kill them all to avenge Susan's death. Resnik and Ari head to Susan's house to kill her husband Brian, but Robert helps him escape. Dave and Kovac break into Robert's apartment, where Miles is painting the walls. Monitoring the apartment via webcams, Robert directs Miles to hide in a secret safe room and makes a call to Dave to lure him away. When Miles emerges from hiding, Dave and Kovac capture him for leverage.
