While most of the time we'd be asking if there was a sequel coming after a movie like "The Equalizer 3," the question of "is a sequel coming" doesn't need to be asked here. Both Fuqua and Washington have stated that "The Equalizer 3" ends the trilogy and that this will likely be the last time these two work in this franchise. In an exclusive interview with Looper, Fuqua mentioned how sad it was to be leaving "The Equalizer" franchise behind. "I'm definitely going to miss the world of 'Equalizer.' It's like a breakup," Fuqua said. "There was a moment when I was sitting there watching it on the big screen, and I thought, 'Oh man, I'm saying goodbye to Robert McCall. I don't want to do that.' But everything comes to an end."
In a different interview with Empire, Washington expressed the same feelings about bidding farewell to McCall. "I don't want to give it all away, but he meets someone lovely, he's in a lovely town and he seems to be at peace," said Washington. "That seems to be a good place to stop." Obviously, someone else can come and direct a new entry or maybe a spin-off focusing on Emma since it seems like her story is just starting. However, that's probably not happening — at least for a while — so fans can expect this to be the last time Washington's Robert McCall will be on the big screen.
