Director Chad Stahelski is returning to the film, and Reeves will again be joined by Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, Bridget Moynahan, and Lance Reddick, while new cast members include Common as Wick’s main adversary, along with Ruby Rose (who is rumored to be a mafia godmother), and the brilliant Peter Stormare.
