Discussion: Queen Latifah, Stars in The Equalizer on CBS UPDATE: Chris Noth fired #metoo! CANCELED

Queen Latifah is a woman without equals, only royal subjects, so it is our opinion that Queen Latifah cannot equalize, only elevate. But in some beautiful twist of fate, she’s starring in CBS’s upcoming television adaptation of the 2014 Denzel Washington sledge-fest The Equalizer. On January 9, CBS released a 30-second teaser for the show on Twitter, and it does in fact kick tushy. The trailer shows Latifah playing Robyn McCall, a CIA special-ops agent who quits her job to take on a “side gig” of busting down doors, taking down baddies, apparently rescuing trafficked girls, and barrel-rolling away from explosions without losing her earrings. Among the people in her life who are concerned about her are her daughter (Laya DeLeon Hayes) and a shady character played by Chris Noth holding an umbrella. The Equalizer premieres on February 7 on CBS, in that sweet, sweet post-Super Bowl spot.

Really didn't see much from the trailer to determine whether this is any good or not.
 
I just don't see Queen Latifah as a "fighter"


She shouldnt have to really the original series dude didnt do a lot of fighting. Hell denzel didnt really either, but it was a lot of action... so we shall see what they bring to the table..original piece..

Yeah, my pops is a fan of the original and the Denzel ones. Problem is that old Equalizer wouldn't work today. Denzel was able to supplement his fight scenes with somewhat believable sequences. I don't think he had any fight scenes with Navy Seals and brolic cats, just the occasional frat boy and Wall Street banker.
 
Man she really has....man you look back shit how long ago was Living Single? Then you factor in she still doing it now and still relevant? Sprinkle in some Oscar nominations and shit too? Impressive.
Is she the best rapper turned actor?
Been doing it since Juice.
