Keanu Reeves first look for ‘John Wick Chapter 4’ is awesometastic!
The first look at Reeves’ return in the role sees the assassin seemingly saying a prayer in front of an altar.
In the image which was shared on Twitter by the actor, viewers can see our favorite assassin on the run kneeling in apparent prayer, with his eyes closed, surrounded by dozens of lit candles. The caption reads, “And so it begins…”
We’re not sure what he’s praying for, but our prayer is that the film’s release date, March 24, 2023, gets here much faster.
Chad Stahelski returns to direct the fourth installment in the action franchise, which features Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, Scott Adkins, Natalia Tena, and Clancy Brown. Continental regulars Ian McShane and Lance Reddick also return.
Shay Hatten and Michael Finch wrote the script for “John Wick: Chapter 4,” and it’s produced by Stahelski, Basil Iwanyk, and Erica Lee. Reeves and Louise Rosner are executives producing.
Though today’s image reveal is the first look for the general public, Lionsgate debuted the trailer for CinemaCon audiences earlier this year, where Lionsgate chair Joe Drake the Wick a “modern myth,” “a singular experience” and “a cultural phenomenon,” and showed footage of the fan-favorite assassin wielding nunchucks.
Speaking about the film’s script last year, Fishburne said: “As much as it’s the same world as the other three films, it’s just deeper.
“It’s much deeper in terms of the code of the assassin and the relationship that he has with one character in particular who I think Mr. Watanabe is playing… is really the heart and soul of it.”
Director Chad Stahelski previously told The Hollywood Reporter that “Chapter 4” will find “new and interesting ways to have John Wick suffer” through even more insane stunts.
“John may survive all this shit, but at the end of it, there’s no happy ending. He’s got nowhere to go,” Stahelski said. “Honestly, I challenge you right now, here’s a question to you: How do you f***ing want me to end it? Do you think he’s going to ride off into the f***ing sunset? He’s killed 300 f***ing people and he’s just going to [walk away], everything’s okay? He’s just going to fall in love with a love interest? If you’re this f***ing guy, if this guy really exist[ed], how is this guy’s day going to end? He’s f***ed for the rest of his life. It’s just a matter of time.”
