John Wick: Chapter 3 will be set after the events of John Wick: Chapter 2. After Wick killed an associate of the High Table inside The Continental, a bounty for $14 million has been placed on his head. Now that Wick has been “excommunicado” from The Continental, all of his privileges have been revoked, including access to The Continental’s underground resources, and he’ll be forced to escape New York all on his own.
Halle Berry will be joining a star-studded cast alongside Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Ruby Rose, Common, Lance Reddick, Laurence Fishburne, Asia Kate Dillon, Anjelica Huston, Mark Dacascos, Jason Mantzoukas, and Hiroyuki Sanada.
John Wick: Chapter 3 is currently filming and will premiere in theaters on May 17th, 2019!
