The
John Wick series is looking to be one of the better action trilogies in the last few years. The third installment,
John Wick 3, is shaping up to have the most star-studded cast of the action franchise yet. A few days ago, it was announced that Halle Berry (
Die Another Day,
Catwoman) would be taking on a villainous role in the action sequel.
Yesterday, we learned that the film has added Los Angeles Clippers center
Boban Marjanović as an unnamed assassin. As one of the tallest players in the history of the NBA (13th, I believe) at an astounding 7 feet, 3 inches tall (221 cm), the Serbian national will definitely add a looming presence to the highly-anticipated action film. This casting makes sense, considering filiming is set to take place in Russia, and Boban is of Serbian heritage.
Serbian native Boban Marjanovi
ć is only 29 years old, but has shown some promising development playing for the San Antonio Spurs, Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Clippers over the past 4 seasons, as well as a few Serbian professional teams and Russian professional team CSKA Moscow before that. The current Clippers bench player will follow in the path of other famous NBA post-players such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (
Airplane), Shaquille O'Neal (
Kazaam,
Steel) and Roy Hibbert (
Parks & Recreation) and feature in a Hollywood production.
Chad Stahelski returns to direct a script by
Derek Kolstad, who wrote the first two installments as well as. Starring Keanu Reeves,
John Wick 3 hits theaters on
May 17, 2019. It is rumored tthe title will be
John Wick: Parabellum, but that may change.
John Wick, still on the run following his killing of a High Table member inside The Continental, and with a $14 million global contract out on his life. Banned from any company services, John must fight his way out of New York.
What do you think about the casting of the young NBA star? Had you even heard of him?
