Keanu Reeves is back in the first look images for John Wick 3 which also includes Halle Berry.
“The third chapter is literally connected to 2 and starts with John Wick on the run,” Reeves tells EW. “It goes crazy from there.”
Regarding Halle Berry, she plays Sofia, a new character Wick meets in the Middle East. “She has a past with John,” says Reeves. “I end up going to find her to see if she can help me.”
As seen in the image below, Sofia has two Belgian Malinois dogs of her own.
“Whereas John’s puppy was symbolic of his wife, Halle’s two dogs are symbolic of someone she’s lost,” says director Chad Stahelski, adding that they developed an action sequence around her “canine assistants…. They work very well tactically.”
Further details include that Mark Dacascos and Asia Kate Dillon are newcomers to John Wick, who play characters associated with the criminal council known as the High Table. Anjelica Huston plays “someone who was responsible for [Wick’s] upbringing and his protection,” says Stahelski, who calls Chapter 3 “a little bit of an origin story.” Stahelski also added he thinks the movie’s death count will “land slightly north” of the previous movies’ count.
John Wick: Chapter 3 gets released May 17, 2019 also starring Laurence Fishburne.
John Wick (Keanu Reeves) 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.
