Fanning's character is a big deal.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Dakota Fanning's role in The Equalizer 3 was highly anticipated, but her character's identity and history with Robert McCall proves to be much bigger than expected. Nearly two decades after Dakota Fanning and Denzel Washington starred in Man on Fire together, The Equalizer 3's story provided an opportunity for them to reunite on the big screen.
Adding Dakota Fanning as Emma Collins gave The Equalizer 3 a breath of fresh air and some new blood for the franchise as almost no familiar characters returned. For almost the entirety of the movie, Collins is left in the dark about why exactly McCall called her desk at the DIA and used her to help break open the Italian mafia investigation. The truth comes in The Equalizer 3's ending, as there is more to Dakota Fanning's character than expected.
Dakota Fanning's Collins Is The Daughter Of Melissa Leo & Bill Pullman's Equalizer Characters The big reveal The Equalizer 3 saves for near the very end is that Dakota Fanning's character is the daughter of franchise veterans Melissa Leo and Bill Pullman. Leo and Pullman appeared in the two previous The Equalizer movies as Susan and Brian Plummer.
The confirmation that Emma Collins is Brian and Susan Plummer's daughter comes through a few details in The Equalizer 3. McCall mentions during a final conversation with Collins that her mother would be proud of her, hinting that he is aware of her heritage. The movie then shows a picture on Emma's desk showing Melissa Leo, Dakota Fanning, and Bill Pullman's characters together.
Collins' Family Explains Why Robert McCall Chooses Her In Equalizer 3 The reveal that Dakota Fanning's Collins is Susan Plummer's daughter helps answer a lingering question from The Equalizer 3. She questions McCall repeatedly about why he chose her of all people to help him, but he dodges answering her. Knowing that Emma Collins is related to Susan Plummer perfectly explains McCall's decision.
