John Wick is back in action.
The official trailer for ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ has been released, featuring Keanu Reeves as the beloved gun-fu action hero once again.
In the new trailer, Wick must challenge Bill Skarsgård’s creepy villain, the Marquis de Gramont, to a duel to win his freedom. Wick prepares for the showdown as if it’s his last, with a brand new suit and weapons — lots of them. Next we see Wick doing what he does best: killing people in spectacular ways. The trailer shows him riding a horse in the desert while shooting at people, repeatedly hitting a man in the head with pips, splitting a man with an ax in a nightclub, and engaging in close gun and sword combat with Donnie Yen . character.
In addition to Reeves, “John Wick: Chapter 4” stars Skarsgård, Yen, Laurence Fishburne, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama, Shamier Anderson, Hiroyuki Sanada, Scott Adkins and Clancy Brown. Ian McShane reprises his role as Winston, manager of the Continental Hotel.
Reeves has worked with stuntman-turned-director Chad Stahelski on the “John Wick” franchise since the original in 2014. He last appeared as the famous assassin in 2019’s “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” and is in talks to his return in the spinoff “Ballerina” starring Ana de Armas.
In August, Stahelski told Variety on the red carpet for “Day Shift” that the fourth installment of “John Wick” will delve into the mythology behind the Continental.
“I love a good fable,” Stahelski explained to Variety. “I don’t really believe — at least for the ‘John Wick’ movies — in a three-act structure. I believe in storytelling and storytelling. You know, we’ve always seen John Wick as Odysseus. So we take the time we need to tell the story. As long as we don’t fall asleep watching it, we continue it. But I guess there’s a bathroom limit.”
“John Wick: Chapter 4” hits theaters on March 24, 2023. Watch the full trailer below.
