With Keanu Reeves’ John Wick returning for a third outing, now comes word on some new additions who’ll be joining him in the threequel.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, X-Men actress Halle Berry will be playing the female lead called Sofia, The Addams Family’s Anjelica Huston will be playing a mysterious figure called the Director, and Orange is the New Black’s Asia Kate Dillon is playing the Adjudicator of the High Table.
For Berry’s part, she took to Instagram to reveal this news:
The official word on John Wick: Chapter 3 reads:
John Wick is on the run for two reasons… he’s being hunted for a global $14 million dollar open contract on his life, and for breaking a central rule: taking a life on Continental Hotel grounds. The victim was a member of the High Table who ordered the open contract. John should have already been executed, except the Continental’s manager, Winston, has given him a one-hour grace period before he’s “excommunicado” – membership revoked, banned from all services and cut off from other members. John uses the service industry to stay alive as he fights and kills his way out of New York City.
In addition to Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane and Lance Reddick are also returning for this third picture.
To be directed by Chad Stahelski, John Wick: Chapter 3 is set for a May 2019 release.
