:lol:

Given that Jason Mantzoukas is in every decent comedy these days (The Good Place, Big Mouth and Brooklyn 99 off the top of my head in the last few months), getting him cast as a baddie in a John Wick movie is a bit unexpected! Seeing him supposedly look menacing this poster literally made me laugh out loud. It took a bit of Googling to realise it wasn't a joke.

If he's in any scenes next to a pillow, I think I might lose my shit.

Also, if John Wick 3 turns out to be anywhere near as good as the first two, it will go down as the best action trilogy of all time.

Whoa! I've just read the entire cast list: Keanu (action legend), Halle Berry, Larry Fishburne (back with Neo), MarK Dacascos (90s martial arts B-movie superstar), Lance Reddick (Daniels off The Wire), Jerome Flynn (Bronn off GoT), Jason Mantzoukas (Jay off Big Mouth), Anjelica Houston and Ian McShane.

That's a fecking insane list of actors. I couldn't be more hyped.

Bourne trilogy maybe.



What I was thinking :lol:
I broadly agree, but Bourne 3 was a significant drop in quality which is why I brought up the point in the first place.

In one of the older threads on this forum, I think I supported the idea of the Bourne Trilogy being the best movie trilogy of all time. But the third let the franchise down a bit, and subsequent sequels diluted the brand. Hopefully john Wick can avoid the same mistakes.

And more importantly the US ripoff of Chairman Kaga

As much as I (mostly) like Mantzoukis I don't like the idea of him in a serious role in this. I just don't see it working, he's impossible to take seriously.

I think he can do serious . Did you see the Standalone episode of the league where they showed how he became Rafi? The guy does have talent

Not seen that no. He's definitely got talent, but as a comedic guy.

Hopefully he'll prove me wrong, because I really want this movie to be a success.

That's only because you already associate him with a different character. If you've not seem him in other roles before you wouldn't think that.

I've seen him in several roles, all comedic. What other serious roles has he done?

Drive is good, what's the second one like?
A great action movie like they only made them in the 80's and 90's. Your typical inventive plot of martial arts specialist fighting the world to correct any injustice. Just great fun like the recent(ish) Blood And Bone with Michael Jay White.

Btw, anyone capable of finding a torrent copy of Drive from 1997? All I find is a unseeded ISO version over at 1337x.

I'll watch this although if I'm honest I found JW 2 incredibly boring. Loved the first one though.

Interesting how various articles claimed she's in JW3 and that she's listed in the cast search on Google. So someone fecked up on the internet and journalism.

But why the feck is Halle Berry in this film?

Most of them listed Common too and he isn't in it either.

It would hurt the film if she was in it the whole thing in John Wick 2 was how he let Common live but not her
