“Billions” star Asia Kate Dillon joined the cast of ” John Wick: Chapter three — Parabellum” as the adjudicator, a no-nonsense character who enforces the principles of the secret underground world of assassins.
Not solely was Dillon excited to be a part of the universe because they and their mother were huge fans of it, however, Dillon advocated to bring a part of themselves to the role.
“There’s nothing in the film to point that they need to be a cisgender person with a binary identity,” Dillon told insider of the adjudicator. “So I simply said to [director] Chad [Stahelski] and Keanu [Reeves], you have got a true chance here. I am a non-binary person. This character may well be non-binary.”
Unlike another huge Hollywood unleash, that touted having a gay character, there is nothing in “John Wick: Chapter three — Parabellum” to point whether or not Dillon’s character is non-binary. nobody ever addresses it aloud. The adjudicator is another person in, what has been, a really ethnically and culturally inclusive “John Wick” universe without ever feeling like it has been pandering toward its audience.
In addition to Dillon, the third film in the franchise, “Parabellum,” conjointly adds actor and martial artist Mark Dacascos, and oscar winners Halle Berry and Anjelica Houston.
“Adding gender diversity to the ‘John Wick’ universe was one thing that Keanu and Chad and Lionsgate were all on board for, because to them, it’s simply a no brainer,” said Dillon. “They wish the ‘John Wick’ world to be as numerous as possible. therefore for me a true thrill on behalf of me to get to bring that to the table and have it be warmly received.”
