Star has been a constant force in Antoine Fuqua’s film-directing career. The Equalizer 3 is their fifth collaboration in 22 years
Did they treat him well when he was shooting the Arthurian epic?We meet as Fuqua again unites with his old pal Denzel for more viscera-ripping action. The Equalizer 3, another episode in the reinvention of the 1980s Edward Woodward TV series, finds Washington’s ruthless vigilante cleaning up a picturesque corner of Italy. Is there any of Woodward’s character left, I wonder.
“We trust each other. We respect each other. We made an agreement on Training Day never to tie each other’s hands. To be creative. To be open to ideas,” Fuqua explains. Antoine Fuqua: 'I sit there and watch that screen and there’s nothing like it, that feeling of being in a collective group of people from different walks of life, all responding the same.'

“So I think the choices I’ve made my whole life – being brave, and not letting fear stop me – that had a lot to do with it. You have no promise for tomorrow.” Fuqua was under particular pressure as one of the few black film-makers at the top table. Predecessors such as Gordon Parks, director of Shaft, and Melvin van Peebles, of Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, had paved the way in the 1970s.made a mark in art house-adjacent cinema. But what other black film-makers were making high-budget action films at the turn of the century? F Gary Gray was there. Maybe a few others.
