IMDb is showing Ko Iwagami as the casting director for Japan for John Wick 3. Before the rumors start that the film will be shooting some scenes in Japan without direct proof, note that Ko Iwagami was also the casting consultant for Japan for Deadpool 2, which only filmed in Vancouver and Coquitlam, both in British Columbia, and for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, which filmed in Buffalo, NY, several locations in NYC and Brazil.
Note: Based on the box office numbers of JW2, I expect the budget to be modest and similar to that of the last one. If there is an increase it won’t be drastic. Under those circumstances, they will pick locations with cost in mind that will allow them to tell the story in a credible way.
