Dakota Fanning Reunites with Denzel Washington in "Equalizer 3"

Dakota Fanning is reteaming with the Oscar-Winner actor Denzel Washington after nearly 20 years since their hit-action thriller "Man On Fire".

Fanning is set to star opposite Washington in the highly-anticipated threequel "The Equalizer" for Sony Pictures.

The movie is penned by Richard Wenk and directed by Antoine Fuqua. It is produced by Escape Artists’ Academy Award nominee Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch, and Washington.

The plot details are being kept under wraps.

The first movie was released in 2014 and allocated more than $194 million worldwide, leading to a sequel, which grossed over $190 million worldwide.

"The Equalizer 3" will be released in theaters on September 1, 2023.

While Man On Fire cleared the way for Washington to star in more action movies in the future with titles such as "The Equalizer" franchise, the movie is well known for the touching scenes between Washington and Fanning where he plays her loyal and caring bodyguard — and Sony and Fuqua saw this as the perfect opportunity to reunite the two talents.

Fanning can currently be seen starring opposite Michelle Pfeiffer in Showtime’s "The First Lady ". Notable film credits also include Quentin Tarantino’s "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood", "I Am Sam", "Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat",  'War of the Worlds", "Uptown Girls", "Charlotte’s Web", and "The Twilight Saga".
