With the cameras already rolling on John Wick: Chapter 3 – codenamed Parabellum, latin for "prepare for war"), director Chad Stahelski is boosting the cast. Halle Berry, Anjelica Huston, Billions' Asia Kate Dillon, Mark Dacascos and Jason Mantzoukas are all going to be part of the mayhem.
The film's twitter account announced the various new arrivals, with Berry following up via Instagram, listing her character as Sofia. Not much is known about her, save that's she's apparently on Wick's side. At least as much as anyone can be, given his persona non grata status at the assassins' preferred chain of Continental hotels following the events of the second film.
Variety, meanwhile, has dug up more details on the various new recruits, with Huston as "The Director" and Dillon playing "The Adjudicator" of the High Table, the assassins' guild. Dacascos is Zero, an assassin, while Mantzoukas, normally found in comedies, is the Tick Tock Man. Oh, and The Raid veterans Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman will be providing some innovative fight moves as professional killers giving Wick trouble. They're all joining returning Wick players Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane and Lance Reddick.
With Derek Kolstad back on script duty, he's been joined this time by Chris Collins & Marc Abrams, and Shay Hatten. The third film currently has a US release date nailed down for 17 May next year.
