John Wick is returning soon and with two dogs as a sidekick and Halle Berry in an intriguing new look from the third part, Parabellum. While the first part had him go on a killing spree because somebody killed his dog (and stole his car). This one more than makes up for it by giving him two gorgeous grown-up dogs as sidekicks.

The makers released the first looks of the third part of John Wick with Keanu Reeves reprising his role as the mercenary. John Wick 3: Parabellum, is set in the time when the assassin is being hunted for a global $14 million open contract on his life for breaking the one big rule: taking life on Continental Hotel grounds.

This was revealed in the second part when Continental's manager Winston gave him a grace period of one hour before the 'Excomminicado' (membership revoked, banned from all services and cut off from other members). Basically, he has no friends, guns and a safe haven. For this film, he will be joined by Halle Berry, Angelica Huston, Asia Kate Dillon, Mark Dacascos, and Jason Mantzoukas who will be taking up interesting roles.

The ensemble cast also includes Yayan Ruhian, Cecep Arif Rahman, and Tiger Hu Chen while Ian McShane, Common, Laurence Fishburne, Lance Reddick, and Ruby Rose might reprise their roles in the sequel, with Hiroyuki Sanada of The Wolverine, playing the main villain. Set to release on May 17, 2019, the script is written by Derek Kolstad while Chad Stahelski will wear the director's cap.
