Clara was very aware of her position and did not want to cause Martin any trouble. She voluntarily let go of his hand, "I'll go ask the director if there's any part for me in the next film."
Blake, having dated Martin for a period as normal boyfriend and girlfriend, asked, "Dear, can my character lead a film on her own?"
In this film, she played an extremely formidable female assassin who was also the manager of the Casablanca Continental Hotel, where she would fight alongside Martin.
Martin had considered Blake's character. Unlike the former Oscar-winning actress Harley Berry, who by this point in time had no significant roles beyond Storm, and whose real standing in the industry could barely be considered second-rate.
Her own appeal was mediocre, and time and again, it had been proven that she couldn't carry a film on her own.
The John Wick universe wanted to expand, and naturally, they wouldn't consider Harley Berry's character again.
