Due on Blu: The Equalizer2

The 4K-UHD, Blu-ray and digital releases of The Equaliser2 will include more than an hour of extras.

The digital version can be viewed from November 7, two weeks earlier than the discs.

Highlights will include a behind-the-scenes Retribution Mode, pop-up trivia track, 11 deleted/extended scenes and five making-of shorts.

Here’s the press release:

Two-time Academy Award winnerDenzel Washington (Best Supporting Actor, Glory, 1989; Best Actor, Training Day, 2001) returns to one of his signature roles in the first sequel of his career when the gritty, pulse-pounding thriller The Equalizer2 hits digital November 7 and 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray, and DVD November 21 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Reunited with director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), Washington is Robert McCall, who serves unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed, but how far will his no-holds-barred vengeance go when the victim is someone he loves?

The Equalizer 2 also stars Pedro Pascal (Kingsman: The Golden Circle), Ashton Sanders (Moonlight), with Bill Pullman (Independence Day) and Oscar-winner Melissa Leo (Best Supporting Actress, The Fighter, 2010).

The digital & Blu-ray releases of The Equalizer2 are loaded with over an hour of action-packed bonus features, including “Retribution Mode,” deleted and extended scenes, The Equalizer2 pop-up trivia track and a behind-the-scenes featurette.

“Retribution Mode,” the follow-up to The Equalizer’s “Vengeance Mode,” allows fans to watch the film with Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua as they take fans through the making of their favourite adrenaline-filled action scenes with exclusive in-depth and personal conversations.

In the featurette “Denzel as McCall: Round Two,” Denzel Washington describes his return as Robert McCall and why this continued story was so important for him to tell.

Four additional featurettes are also available on the digital, Blu-ray and DVD releases of The Equalizer 2, including the two NBA promo shoots.

This sequel packs more punches, explosions and bullets than the original, and in “Seconds Till Death: Action Breakdown,” the cast and crew dissect some of this film’s most intense and action-packed moments from rehearsals to production.

It takes a certain kind of actor to play alongside Denzel Washington and in “Through Antoine’s Lens: The Cast,” Antoine and Denzel discuss why the returning cast are such an important part of this sequel’s success, as well as what it was like working with new cast and characters.
