The Equalizer 3 is dominating Netflix's chart, sparking fan interest in the ultimate action movie showdown: John Wick vs. Robert McCall.
The Equalizer films have the winning formula for gripping entertainment: an Oscar-winning actor taking down villains in cold, ruthless fashion, whether it's using a corkscrew on a foe, using a nail gun to basically crucify someone, or putting pressure on a mafioso's nerve with shocking results.
Denzel Washington's character, Robert McCall, is a force to be reckoned with, embodying a superhuman blend of Bryan Mills from Taken and Steven Segal. He navigates every challenge with unwavering confidence using nothing more than a watch and his keen perception. His latest film has soared to the top of Netflix's top 10 movies, but another contemporary hitman is gaining traction on the charts – and fans are eager to see them face off.
Give the people what they want: a John Wick vs The Equalizer movie
Keanu Reeves portrays John Wick, an assassin who operates with a moral code. His kills are calculated and efficient, driven by the motives of financial gain in his former life and a thirst for vengeance. In the upcoming Chapter 4, Wick is relentlessly pursued by the powerful High Table, facing numerous obstacles but refusing to be slowed down.

"Are we going to see a John Wick versus Equalizer movie in 2024? That's the only thing I'm excited about this year," one user tweeted. "Honestly, I'm hoping for a John Wick/Equalizer/Nobody crossover movie like the Avengers. I'd be so hyped for that," another user commented.
One person suggested, "Let's have John Wick take down the Equalizer in a movie with a huge bomb. Crazy but wow." Another fan tweeted, "The Equalizer and John Wick should exist in the same universe. That would be an intense collaboration." In an interview with CBR, director Antoine Fuqua shared his thoughts on a potential crossover, stating, "It would be a lot of fun with John Wick. They are very different. If McCall needs weapons or guns, I would let John do that. When it comes to up-close brutality, let McCall handle that."
Is it possible for a crossover to happen between John Wick and The Equalizer movies? It's unlikely since they are distributed by different companies and Washington is no longer playing his character in the third movie. However, in a Reddit AMA, Reeves expressed excitement about the idea, calling it "crazy good!"

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I'm thrilled about the prospect of a showdown between John Wick and Robert McCall. Both characters are iconic action heroes, and it would be fascinating to see them face off against each other. I believe that John Wick would ultimately emerge victorious due to his superior combat skills and experience. However, Robert McCall is a formidable opponent, and the battle would undoubtedly be intense and exciting.
I'm also intrigued by the idea of a crossover movie featuring John Wick, The Equalizer, and Nobody. This would be an epic event that would bring together three of the most popular action franchises of recent years. I think that such a movie would be a huge success, and I would definitely be first in line to see it.
