Loved the show. Micheal Caine would be awesome, just think he would be a bit old. I have to agree with everyone else. I needs to be an older man. I like Jason’s movies, but he is to young. RIP Edward

I just found this website and thought everyone would be interested to know that in an interview in 2007 Edward Woodward was asked about the Equalizer movie and who he thought would be the best choice to play Robert McCall and interestingly enough he said George Clooney. He is not british of course, but is in his 50’s and has the ability to play rough with some charm and intelligence thrown in. But like everyone else, I will always hold Edward Woodward in my heart as Robert McCall. No one will ever come close to the original “Equalizer”. Rest in peace Edward, you are still the man.

PS Nothing against Jason Statham but if they’ve got to do the film then I don’t think he’ll suit the role how about Ian Mcshane he seems to be doing well at the moment

Come on, whats going on here. Why do they feel the need to keep on digging up old and great films and tv shows. It seems Jason Statham is going to be doing a film called The Mechanic, just a minute wasn’t that a film with Charles Bronson and Jan-Micheal Vincent and The Sweeney and now The Equaliser. Come on I think the actors who orginally did these can’t be bettered and the new films done from them will not be the same without them. Surely there are thousands of books out there that are new and orginal that can be made into films instead of re-hashing what are iconic entertainment.

It needs to star Michael Caine (The guy who played Alfred on the new Batman.)

If this happens I might have to create a terrorist group to plant bombs during production.

Might sound a bit peculiar at first but how about Hugh Laurie? He’s only about five or six years younger than Edward Woodward when he took on the role. He has the refined English accent (in real life) and he boxes so he’s physically suitable. Surely House is running towards the end of it’s shelf-life.

Greetings fellow “Equalizers”…

My choice would be Lewis Collins, of “The Professionals” and most notably the movie “Who Dares Wins” (US: The Final Option). At 63, he’s the right age, is physically fit, and is a very good actor.

I’m looking forward to the movie but curious that nowhere has Jeremy Irons been mentioned as a possible McCall. I think that would work out well.
