Yeah, you know what we’re about to say, we’re thinking it’s back, baby. After the explosive events of “Parabellum” (which is a Latin term for, essentially, “preparing for war”), it left John Wick on the run from his fellow assassins, the legendary High Table, and just about anyone else with weapon in hand, our favorite former hitman turned boogeyman with an epic-sized grudge to settle is once again left with few allies and an army of fighters out to take him down.
Our own Jacob Hall saw it on the big screen in Hall H at Comic-Con, and simply said, “Reign.” We can’t disagree, especially when Keanu Reeves is kicking nunchaku.
As with the previous sequels, stuntman/cinematographer Chad Stahelski returns to direct “John Wick: Chapter 4” from a script by Michael Finch and Shay Hatten. Reeves is joined once again by “The Matrix” co-star Laurence Fishburne as the Bowery King, Lance Reddick as the mysterious hotel clerk Charon, and Ian McShane as the indomitable Winston (who seemed to betray Wick in the final moments of “Parabellum,” but probably only so he could escape mostly unscathed). They will be joined by franchise newcomers Donnie Yen, Hiroyuki Sanada, Bill Skarsgård, Scott Adkins, Rina Sawayama, Shamier Anderson, Marko Zaror and Clancy Brown.
John Wick will make its triumphant return to theaters on March 24, 2023.
