Denzel Washington is back as Robert McCall in the first trailer for The Equalizer 2. Throughout his remarkable career, Denzel has just about done it all. The exception though is that he’s never done a sequel before. When The Equalizer hit theaters in 2014, there was finally hope that Denzel could have a franchise on his hands. Sony made that a reality by green lighting Equalizer 2, and bringing back director Antoine Fuqua in the process.

Taking a simple premise of a man looking to put an earlier life behind him, Equalizer brought McCall back into the world he wanted to leave. He successfully saved Teri (Chloe Grace Moretz) and got rid of the Russian threat to her life in that film. Now, however, there’s another matter that demands for him to intervene.

Sony released the first trailer for Equalizer 2 today. The trailer is a long time coming, especially considering the numerous release date changes the sequel has gone through already. Now set to hit theaters at the end of July, the first look at Denzel’s sequel shows there’s more fun to be had with this franchise yet.
