Where You Recognize The John Wick 3 Cast From

The John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum cast is filled with top-tier talent, but are you wondering where you recognize them from? As the latest installment of the John Wick franchise, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum follows Keanu Reeves’ titular character as he deals with an open $14 million contract on his life. One doesn’t simply insult The High Table and expect to survive.

Because of the violent premise – a hit man vs. the mafia – John Wick 3 received an R rating. Unsurprisingly, the John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum cast includes a variety of film veterans, some who are known for portraying grizzled characters, and others who are known for prior roles within the action genre.

Here’s a rundown of the John Wick 3 cast – including the big-name and lesser-known stars – as well as where you might have seen them before.

Keanu Reeves As John Wick

Keanu Reeves’ John Wick seeks vengeance after his car is stolen and his dog is killed by gangsters. The John Wick films are based on a code of honor, and Reeves’ character occasionally breaks the rules; an eye for an eye. With a feature film career that spans nearly 35 years, Reeves is best known for starring as Neo aka The One in The Matrix trilogy, as well as in movies such as Bill & Ted, Speed, Point Break, and more. In 2019, Reeves also voiced Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4, and will revisit his past hits in 2020’s Bill & Ted Face the Music and 2021’s The Matrix 4.

Halle Berry As Sofia

In John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Halle Berry stars as Reeves’ longtime assassin friend, Sofia. Before the script was written, she demanded to be in the film.
