Sofia Al-Azwar was one of John Wick’s key allies in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, aiding him while he was on the run after being declared “excommunicado” by the High Table. Despite that, it seems that the manager of Casablanca’s Continental Hotel won’t be in John Wick 4.
“Sofia’s not in the next John Wick movie,” Berry confirmed in a new interview in IGN, which she recorded in advance of the release of Moonfall, in which she will play a starring role.
Berry’s comments confirm speculation that Sofia won’t be in the next John Wick film, which is currently scheduled to release in 2023. Sofia fans shouldn’t despair, though, because Berry says a spinoff may be in the works.
“There could possibly be a Sofia…her own movie,” Berry said. “So she might not be in John Wick, but she might be doing her own thingy-thingy.”
Berry described the potential project as “putting some ointment on a little sore,” referring to the canceled Die Another Day spinoff that was to feature Berry’s character Jinx, who served as James Bond’s love interest in the film. Berry has repeatedly expressed disappointment over the film’s cancellation, which would have been a unique turn for one of the series’ Bond Girls.
In the meantime, John Wick has been the subject of a number of spinoff rumors, both real and confirmed. The Continental, a limited series featuring a young Winston Scott in 1970s New York, is set to debut on Starz later this year. A spinoff film titled Ballerina featuring Ana de Armas is also reported to be in development.
It seems that a number of potential John Wick projects are in the works, with Sofia’s spinoff being just one of several ideas. As for John Wick: Chapter 4, it’s been pushed all the way to 2023 despite completing filming back in November. It’ll release on March 24, 2023.
