Denzel Washington will return as Robert McCall, a former Marine and Defense Intelligence Agency operative in the third instalment of The Equaliser series.

Equaliser 3 is billed as the final chapter in the Oscar winner's action franchise.

Set to be released on September 1, McCall is now looking for some peace after dealing out his own brand of justice in the first two Equaliser movies.

However, this may be more difficult than he thinks.

Finding himself surprisingly at home in Southern Italy, he discovers his new friends are under the control of local crime bosses.

As events turn deadly, McCall knows what he has to do: become his friends' protector by taking on the mafia.

It's highly unlikely anyone from the second film will make an appearance, but there is the possibility that Ashton Sanders could return as Miles, the young artist to whom Robert takes a liking.

So far, all other cast details are being kept under wraps.

The film is written by Richard Wenk who wrote the second Equalizer movie and is penning the upcoming Kraven the Hunter film for DC/Warner Bros.
