New John Wick: Chapter 3 image reveals Anjelica Huston’s character

Keanu Reeves has said that the third chapter of the JOHN WICK saga is "literally connected to 2 and starts with John Wick on the run. It goes crazy from there." Although plenty of familiar characters will be returning once again for the craziness, including Winston (Ian McShane), The Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), and Charon (Lance Reddick), there will be a handful of new faces as well to help in further fleshing out this world of deadly assassins. One of those new characters will be played by Anjelica Huston and Empire has a look at her mysterious character sharing a moment with Wick.

It was previously revealed that Anjelica Huston's character will be "someone who was responsible for [Wick’s] upbringing and his protection," and we now know that she will be referred to as The Director and is a member of the High Table, a shadowy organization of high-level crime lords. "We’re trying to make it that there are different tribes, less nondescript assassins," Reeves told Empire. "Anjelica Huston is playing this Roma Ruska character."

The official synopsis for JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 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.

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 will hit theaters on May 17, 2019.
