11 Actors Who Won't Be Coming Back For Upcoming Sequels

7. Common - John Wick 3: Parabellum

After becoming a firm fan favourite in the second John Wick movie, you'd have thought Common's Cassian would be returning for the third chapter. His story was, after all, left open-ended, even as Wick won the day. But we won't be seeing an answer to his fate after the events of Chapter 2 as Common revealed to ComingSoon:

“I’m not in the third part, but I could say that I really loved being a part of John Wick 2 and it was an amazing experience. Working with Keanu and Chad, they’re just phenomenal. Challenged and really passionate about the stuff, and I can say that three is going to be incredible, though, I’ll tell you that much.”

What It Means For The Film:

Though he's a loose end, it's not that hard to see why he's been left out by Chad Stahelski this time. There's already a lot of new characters coming in to Wick's story as he tries to fight his way out of New York. It's probably just a case of not wanting to have to worry about too many balls in the air.

Of course, there's always a possibility that we'll see him back for another sequel in future, though. It's not like the whole cast of Parabellum is going to make it out alive, after all.
