Keanu Reeves is John Wick
Keanu Reeves returns as John Wick and the stakes are bigger than ever! John Wick has never faced so many simultaneous threats hellbent on ending his existence. Enemies are everywhere, but that will only drive Wick to the ends of the earth as he continues to seek a personal reckoning. In Parabellum, things have changed, though John Wick’s hope to even take a breath, let alone find peace, has never seemed more improbable.
Reeves has carved out his own distinctive place in the action world. “For me action has always been about that connection between the audience and the character,” Reeves explains. “If that connection is there, the action has an emotional impact and you can feel the stakes.”

New Additions:Joining the growing character roster is Halle Berry as Sofia, Anjelica Huston as The Director, Asia Kate Dillon as The Adjudicator, Mark Dacascos as Zero, Jerome Flynn as Berrada, Jason Mantzoukas as the Tick Tock Man, Saïd Taghmaoui as The Elder and Boban Marjanovic as Ernest. For Halle Berry, who originates the new character Sofia, the experience was like no other. Sofia, like John Wick, is a loner in this dark world of assassins, retaining an aura of mystery to all that come across her. “There is more to learn about her,” teases Berry. “What we know in this chapter is that she was trained by the same person who trained John Wick and their styles of fighting are very much the same. |
Returning Cast: |
The Franchise:Five years ago, the premiere chapter of John Wick set a new bar for action films. In this hardboiled world of killers-for-hire, audiences worldwide experienced the rush of dazzlingly pure battle sequences, of which moved like a frenzied ballet, pushing practical filmmaking to its limits. Now, Chapter 3 expands the Wick universe, revealing more about the hidden operations of The High Table and introducing intriguing new characters. |
More Stunts, More Action:In an era of seductively unreal digital effects, part of the John Wick ethos has been to entirely buck the trend. In John Wick’s world, the thrills are primal and always based around practical, if high-wire, stunts. In this world, jump-cuts never interrupt a fight. Rather than zoom in to create illusions, the camera instead always pans out, the better to show the audience every precarious detail. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum goes beyond martial arts spectacles to stunts that range from a high-speed horse chase through New York City to climbing sand dunes in the Sahara. |
