“I don’t see it [happening], but who knows?”

I saw my crew, with cigarettes dangling out of their mouths carrying equipment up these steps.
There was a lot of puking going on."
“I believe this would be it.

We’ve both talked about it that way.
But you never know!”
“Listen, Denzel’s in shape.
He’s training every day.
If you saw him now, it would blow your mind.
He’s like 60 pounds lighter, even fromThe Equalizer.
He’s really healthy.
Yeah, it’s up to him.
Obviously, if he wanted to do another one, I would as well, but I don’tseeit.
But who knows?”
The film’s supporting cast includesDakota Fanningas a CIA analyst who is very interested in McCall’s Italian job.
As a child actor, Fanning appeared alongside Washington in 2004’s Tony Scott-directedMan on Fire.
Fuqua says his leading man was thrilled at the idea of reuniting with the actress.
The director remembers that he “called Denzel and said, ‘Dakota’s interested.’
He goes, ‘Grab her!’
Because he has such love for her.”
Denzel sometimes would look over at me and go, ‘She’s a grown-up now!’
Like he couldn’t believe it.
So, that was fun."
The filmmaker is hoping to direct a biopic ofMichael Jacksonstarring the singer’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson.
“Sounds like him, dances like him.
I mean, it’s really uncanny.
It’s on hold, obviously, because of the strike.
So, we’re just waiting to see what happens.”
At the very least, there will probably be less puking.
The Equalizer 3hits theaters this Friday.
