John Wick is coming back to theaters next year, and he’s bringing some new friends with him. We’ve already metHalle Berry’s Sofia, aJohn Wick 3newcomer who shares a past with Wick, and nowEmpirehas a new image revealing another lady from John’s backstory:Anjelica Hustonas The Director.
“We’re trying to make it that there are different tribes, less nondescript assassins,” Franchise starKeanu Reevestold the outlet. “Anjelica Huston is playing this Roma Ruska character.” filmmakerChad Stahelskipreviously revealed that she’s “someone who was responsible for [Wick’s] upbringing and his protection,” and describedJohn Wick 3as “a little bit of an origin story.”
Of course, we know Wick is going to be on the like never before after he broke Hotel Continental’s strictest law and ended up on every hitman’s kill list, so it makes sense that he’s going to turn to a few familiar faces from his past. Who else from Wick’s past will we meet, and just how big is this world of international super killers? We’ll find out whenJohn Wick 3opens August 21, 2025.
The film also starsIan McShane, Lawrence Fishburne, Jason Mantzoukas, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tiger Hu Chen, Yayan Ruhian, Cecep Arif Rahman, Lance Reddick, Common, andRuby Rose. Check out the first look at Huston’s mysterious new character in the image below.
Here is the full synopsis forJohn Wick 3:
“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.
