Speaking with Screen Rant , Reeves has now reveal some details regarding Berry ’s part , including why she come to John ’s tending and what it was like to solve with theX - MenandCatwomanactress . When inquire what Sophia brings to the franchise , Reeves said :
Well , the character , we have a past , and I go to Halle Berry ’s quality , Sophia , for some assist . And I have her marker . So , she has some obligation that she might not want to carry through . Halle is a wonderful artist and there ’s such depth and for the action there was such allegiance and she ’s so great at the dramatic play , at characterization and satin flower and she ’s great with the action .
In theJohn Wickuniverse , a mark is a very important game gimmick whereby an assassinator is compel by the community ’s code to help the somebody in possession of their personal marking medallion , regardless of circumstances or the amount of time passed . For example , John Wick : Chapter 2revealed that John had give his own marker to a criminal called Santino in exchange for Santino ’s help in finding a quiet retirement . The continuation began with Santino returning the marker to John , thus cash in in the favor owed . Refusal to adhere to this agreement is look at as life-threatening a crime as the one John trust to make himself the assassin trade ’s most wanted man .
Given John ’s situation head intoJohn taper : Chapter 3 , it ’s for certain surprising that anyone would need to fight by his side , so the explanation that John hold Sophia ’s marker is certainly satisfactory in bridge over that narration break . As Reeves suggest , it also creates an interesting dynamic whereby Sophia is n’t aid John due to any sense of justice or commitment but because she is oblige to , and this could make for some interesting and tense exchange between the pair .
It ’s perhaps fair to say that Berry ’s cinematic production has often been the subject of vital ridicule , with the likes ofGothika , CatwomanandMovie 43dogging her filmography . Berry ’s role inCloud Atlaswas even tainted with racial controversy . However , a pocket-size but fun character inKingsman : The Golden Circleboosted Berry ’s stock somewhat and ifthe positive early reactionsare any indication , John Wick 3 - Parabellumwill capitalize on that and re - perk up the actress ' career while also bring novel lineage to the franchise .
