The latest installment of the John Wick series will see the nominal assassin going all out as he seeks to attain his freedom from the criminal underworld. The newest outing of the popular franchise sees a paradigm shift. Rather than focusing on revenge, it shows John Wick’s journey in avenging none but himself. Helmed by Chad Stahelski, John Wick 4 will release in theatres on March 24, 2023.

The trailer opens with John Wick and Caine conversing, wherein the latter tells the assassin that ‘he is going to die.’ Caine gets the perfect blunt retort from John, who is always up for a challenge. John’s bitter response ‘maybe not’ to Caine’s dying question sets the theme of this action-adventure flick. We are introduced to a new rogue who leads the underworld management in the latest franchise. Menacing, intimidating and all-powerful, we get a glimpse of our anti-hero Marquis played to perfection by Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård. Winston who is a pivotal character in the movie series, resurfaces only to inform John that if he beats the villain in single combat, he can earn his freedom from this conflagration.

It is said that John Wick 4 has the longest runtime in the franchise so far, but director Chad Stahelski doesn't think fans will have a problem with it. After the breakout success of the first John Wick movie in 2014, Keanu Reeves' titular assassin returned for two even more successful sequels.

More about the film

Apart from Keanu Reeves, Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård and Ian McShane, the film also stars Scott Adkins, Asia Kate Dillon, Hiroyuki Sanada, Laurence Fishburne, Lance Reddick, and Mark Dacascos. John Wick 4 will also see Japanese pop singer Rina Sawayama making her Hollywood debut.

Conclusion

While seeing Keanu Reeves horse-riding, brandishing swords and blazing guns has excited the fans like anything, they are also worried about the fate of their favourite hitman. On that note, we can only say only wait and watch until John Wick 4 releases on the big screen.
