The film will once again be directed by Chad Stahelski from a script by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch.
“I’m so glad to have Rina on board to make her feature film debut in John Wick: Chapter 4,” Stahelski said. “She’s an incredible talent who’ll bring so much to the film.”
While this is Sawayama’s first big screen role, she did appear in a couple of episodes of Idris Elba’s short-lived comedy series Turn Up Charlie. She released her self-titled album in 2020 and has received widespread acclaim.
John Wick: Chapter 4 opens May 27th 2022.
