They’ve just teamed up for the western The Magnificent Seven, but it looks like the duo of director Antoine Fuqua and star Denzel Washington will get together once again for a sequel to their 2014 action movie The Equalizer. Producer Todd Black, who is behind both movies, has been on the press trail for Mag7 and confirmed to Collider that they intend to start shooting The Equalizer 2 in September of next year.
“The script is done. We start shooting right after Labor Day, maybe right before Labor Day depending on Denzel’s schedule,” Black told the site. “So Equalizer 2 will start shooting in September of next year, maybe earlier depending on another movie that we’re shooting with Denzel before that. We’re going to do a little bit more work and we’re going to go into casting right after that for his nemesis.”
Black went on to say that the planned movie may even be shot in IMAX, which was the intention with The Magnificent Seven.
“We talked a lot about the IMAX format for [The Magnificent Seven]. It’s expensive. Antoine wasn’t quite comfortable with that, nor were the studios. We did talk about it a lot. We continue to talk about it for Equalizer 2. He has a whole thing that he’s planning on Equalizer 2 with this new effect that he’s doing, which I can’t talk about, but it’s frickin’ so cool you won’t believe it.”
