The John Wickiverse has Keanu Reeves’ brutal assassin at its heart – but he’s just one of a cast of colourful characters in its shadowy (under)world. We’ve already met the likes of Laurence Fishburne’s pigeon-loving crime lord, Ian McShane’s Continental boss Winston, and Lance Reddick’s concierge Charon in the previous instalments – and in 2019’s John Wick: Chapter 3, we’ll be meeting a bunch of extra faces as Baba Yaga goes on the run with a huge bounty on his head. We’ve already seen Halle Berry’s strident assassin Sofia, and now Empire has an exclusive image of screen legend Anjelica Huston as The Director – no, not Chad Stahelski, but a member of the High Table.

“We’re trying to make it that there are different tribes, less nondescript assassins,” Reeves tells Empire in the new issue, adding: “Anjelica Huston is playing this Roma Ruska character.”
