The Continental: From the World of John Wick Set to Make a Comeback
We believe that the John Wick franchise will make a comeback as it has never been seen before on the 22nd of September, 2023, when The Continental: From the World of John Wick will finally check-in.
The Story Behind The Continental
In the 1970s, in New York, another epic struggle took place for the Continental Hotel. This occurred several decades before John Wick (Keanu Reeves) began the war on the High Table. There, a young Winston Scott, played by Colin Woodell, would go from being a braggart and charlatan to becoming the manager of the most hallowed spots in the criminal underground. It is anticipated that The Continental: From the Universe of John Wick would explain how Winston attained that position. Fans of John Wick will, throughout three nights, see new and known individuals check into this famous location to expand the John Wick universe in ways that have never been seen before.
The Cast and Characters
Here is our comprehensive cast and character guide for The Continental: From the World of John Wick, so you can learn more about the new action series and find out who will be loitering around the hotel lobby.
Colin Woodell as Winston Scott
One of John Wick’s most reliable pals has always been Winston Scott, portrayed in the movies by Ian McShane, who is well known for his role in Deadwood. Colin Woodell, who previously starred in The Flight Attendant and Ambulance, has been cast as Scott in the prequel series. In The Continental: From the World of John Wick, the younger version of Winston Scott is portrayed as a confident womanizer who seems to have little to no interest in the intricate criminal underground. This version of Winston Scott is described as charming and cocky. This all changes when his brother Frankie Scott, played by Ben Robson, gets in trouble with the wrong crowd and develops enemies. One of these individuals is Cormac, the current manager of the Continental Hotel, who will play a significant role as an antagonist in the upcoming series. Mel Gibson will play this role.
Ayomide Adegun as Charon
With Lance Reddick’s demise, the acting world has lost one of its brightest stars. He was best known for his role as Charon, the devoted concierge, which made him an instant favorite with the audience. It is a relief to know that Reddick’s famous character will continue to exist in The Continental: From the World of John Wick thanks to Ayomide Adegun, who will be making their television acting debut in the series before their feature film debut in another prequel, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Adegun will make their television acting debut in the series before their feature film debut in another prequel.
Mel Gibson as Cormac
It is possible that Cormac, played by Mel Gibson, is the manager of the Continental Hotel. Despite this, he is not the selfless benefactor Winston would be. Cormac is a merciless servant of the High Table who will stop at nothing to exact vengeance on those who have brought dishonor to the table. He will do whatever it takes.
Ben Robson as Frankie Scott
It’s possible that Winston is a tough little guy. Ben Robson, known for his roles in Animal Kingdom and Vikings, will be playing the role of Frankie Scott. He will help ensure that the series continues to deliver its trademark brand of visceral action.
Katie McGrath as The Adjudicator
Fans of “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” should recognize the name “High Table Adjudicator,” which is the role that “Supergirl” star Katie McGrath will portray in “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.” The Adjudicator, played by Asia Kate Dillon, was the primary adversary in the third John Wick film series installment. She served as the High Table’s spokeswoman when they were searching for John Wick. The evidence in The Continental: From the World of John Wick suggests that this post has existed for a considerable amount of time and that the masked Adjudicator, played by Katie McGrath, has most likely been collaborating with Cormac to locate Frankie.
Peter Greene as Charlie
Alongside Charlie, who The Mask’s Peter Greene is portraying, there will be the reappearance of another already-established character from the John Wick universe. Charlie, played by David Patrick Kelly, appeared in just one scene in the first John Wick movie. In that scene, Charlie and his cleaning team cleaned John’s house after a failed assassination attempt and a minor home invasion.
Mark Musashi and Marina Mazepa as Hansel and Gretel
The world of John Wick is filled with a diverse assortment of vicious underlings. This time around, the characters of The Continental: From the World of John Wick will go up against the duo of Hansel and Gretel, who are portrayed by the actor Mark Musashi from The Last Witch Hunter and the actress Marina Mazepa from Malignant, respectively. Hansel and Gretel will not be able to outwit witches any time shortly. They are named after the renowned characters from the fairy tale. Two assassins, both directly answerable to Cormac and the High Table, will cause Winston and his companions much more grief.
Conclusion
The Continental: From the World of John Wick promises to be an exciting addition to the franchise, expanding the universe and delving into the origins of beloved characters. With an impressive cast and intriguing storylines, fans can look forward to an action-packed series that will leave them wanting more.
