Death by book?! Clippers big man Boban Marjanovic plays an assassin in "John Wick 3" and appears to die a brutal, yet creative death in the movie.

Here's the full 'John Wick 3' trailer: 

The 30-year-old center from Serbia is the tallest player in the NBA. Standing at 7-3, he's an assassin that can only be matched by the cunning John Wick.

"It was fun, really fun to be yourself in that type of stuff," Marjanovic told The Ringer last year when asked about his role in the film. "I know it’s acting, but to me, it’s like playing basketball."

Marjanovic is already winning the internet with his antics. Now, he's winning Hollywood.

"John Wick 3" is scheduled to hit theaters on May 17.
