John Wick 3 Starts Sooner Than Expected

Another Assignment For The World’s Deadliest Assassin

♦ John Wick: Chapter 2 came out the beginning of last year and apparently the third film will start shooting this year, according to our friends at MovieWeb…

John Wick 3 will begin filming much sooner than we previously thought with the return of director Chad Stahelski as well as much of the previous cast. Stahelski has yet to confirm that he is actually attached to the third movie in the trilogy, instead describing himself as the “prep director,” but it appears as if he’ll be on to finish the franchise out. It was revealed last week that the working title for John Wick 3 is Alpha Cop, but it was assumed that production would begin this spring or even early this summer.

A new report from That Hashtag Show has revealed that John Wick 3 begins production on 1 March 2018 in New York City with other rumoured locations including Russia and Spain. The New York City locations point to the possibility that the movie is probably set after the events of the second movie, which is something that Keanu Reeves has talked about and makes sense. In addition, it looks like much of the cast is returning as well. Laurence Fishburne will be coming back as the Bowery King along with Common’s Cassian and Ruby Rose’s Ares from the previous movies.

We will also see some new faces in the third film too, most notably its antagonist who is played by Hiroyuki Sanada (Avengers 4). Sanada plays the head of a Japanese crime syndicate, presumably with a score to settle against Wick. This will be a reunion for the two actors who starred together in 47 Samurai back in 2013.

John Wick 3 still has an official release date of 17 May 2019. Thanks to MovieWeb.
