Early buzz on Denzel Washington’s reunion with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua for The Equalizer has been so good that Columbia Pictures already approved a sequel, and the latest television spot for the film offers an indication of why everyone is so high on the film with a hard-hitting preview that also offers up a clip from Eminem’s upcoming single, “Guts Over Fear.”

A big-screen version of the popular ’80s series that cast Edward Woodward as a former special agent who uses his unique set of skills to help people in dire need, the new film puts Washington in the title role as a man who intends to put his bloody past behind him, only to call upon his deadly skills once again when he meets an innocent girl caught up with violent Russian gangsters. In the new preview for the film, we get a peek at what drives Washington’s character, McCall, to come out of retirement and exact vengeance on the gangsters and criminals that terrorize the people around him.

The television spot for The Equalizer also features a short clip from the appropriately titled “Guts Over Fear,” as performed by Eminem and Sia. The song will be officially released August 25, a month before The Equalizer hits theaters.

Along with Washington, The Equalizer stars Marton Csokas, Chloë Grace Moretz, David Harbour, Bill Pullman, and Melissa Leo. The film premieres September 26.

7 best comeback movies ever, ranked

John Wick walks into a Church in John Wick.

Hollywood loves a good comeback. The industry that transforms actors and directors into giant stars will also facilitate their downfall. One mistake, and it's back to the bottom of the heap. J.J. Abrams, a massively talented writer and director, has not directed a film since the reviled Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Taylor Kitsch has not had top billing in a movie since a pair of massive flops from 2012: John Carter and Battleship. The film industry can be ruthless and cutthroat.

Hollywood rarely offers second chances. However, there are some notable examples of success stories for the actors and directors who receive the opportunity to make a comeback. Several resurgences led to Oscar wins, while others revitalized actors' status as top stars. We've ranked the seven best comeback movies for actors and directors.

3 Netflix shows we can’t wait to see in May 2024

Three people stand in the countryside in Bodkin.

Netflix killed it in April. From artsy thrillers like Ripley to supernatural fare like Dead Boy Detectives to the stalker drama Baby Reindeer, the streamer produced enough original content to justify its ever-increasing subscription rates ... for now, at least.

Netflix's May programming slate doesn't appear to be as packed as April, but there are a few shows on our radar that are worth checking out. There's a big-budget adaptation of an acclaimed novel, a low-key comic mystery set on the Emerald Isle coast, and a show about a man and his puppet on a quest to find a missing child.
