Fanning and the 67-year-old Training Day actor starred together in Man on Fire 18 years ago. The actress played a nine-year-old girl named Lupita "Pita" Ramos, who depends on Creasy, her former-CIA bodyguard, to save her after she is kidnapped.
While no details have been shared about Fanning’s character in The Equalizer 3, there's a good chance that Washington’s character will follow in Creasy’s footsteps and build a close friendship with her.

While the plot for the next film is being kept under wraps, let's look back at Washington and Fanning's wholesome interactions during the Man on Fire promotions.
Per IGN, Washington praised the Twilight actress for her acting skills: "Dakota is a child, but she is a wonderful actor. And that's what we were doing together: Acting. I don't know what a child actor is. She's an actor who's a child."
He added: "She's a sweetheart as you'll see if you've talked to her already. She's a bright young woman and she's just a joy to be around. You can't not like her."

"She's a very engaging and interesting person and a very smart young woman. You start having little conversations. She's very professional," he added.
A young Fanning similarly praised her co-star, saying of Washington that she "couldn't wait to see him every day". She added: "He is so focused and he is always trying to try new things. I want to be like him one day."
Equalizer 3 is rumored to be released in movie theaters on September 1, 2023.
