Lionsgate has officially released the first look at John Wick: Chapter 3 featuring Keanu Reeves returning to the role as the titular fearsome assassin along with newcomer Halle Berry.

Berry joins the hit-franchise as Sofia, who Reeves revealed to Entertainment Weekly has a past with John Wick. The two meet back when the plot takes John to the Middle East. Reeves explained:

“She has a past with John. I end up going to find her to see if she can help me.”

In addition to the image previewed above, featuring John in New York City, the image below featuring Reeves and Berry reveals two new canines joining the franchise. The film will introduce two Belgian Malinois dogs that belong to Berry’s Sofia, only this time they’ll be featured in the action. Director Chad Stahelski revealed “they work very well tactically.” The director also revealed that much like John’s dog in the first film, the two dogs belonging to Sofia will also represent a previous loss for the character:

“Whereas John’s puppy was symbolic of his wife, Halle’s two dogs are symbolic of someone she’s lost.”

John Wick: Chapter 3 will pick up where the sequel left off and follow John attempts to escape from New York now that he is officially excommunicado from The Continental with a contract on his head.

Directed by Chad Stahelski, John Wick: Chapter 3 stars Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Ruby Rose, Common, Lance Reddick, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Jason Mantzoukas, Anjelica Huston, and Boban Marjanovic. Here’s the official synopsis:

“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 is currently slated to hit theaters on May 17, 2019. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on the future of the John Wick franchise as we learn it.
