Yeah, we’re pondering he’s again. When you’ve been itching for some punishingly brutal, synapse-tinglingly satisfying battle sequences not too long ago, we convey tidings of pleasure: John Wick: Chapter 4 is a matter of months away, and it appears Keanu Reeves’ unstoppable hitman goes up in opposition to one more military of rogues. Because the prison underworld saga rumbles on, Baba Yaga remains to be struggling to extricate himself from a cavalcade of foes – this time together with the legendary Donnie Yen, pop sensation Rina Sawayama, and Invoice ‘Pennywise’ Skarsgård amongst many others. And he’s doing so with nunchucks, axes, and weapons. Numerous weapons. Try the action-packed trailer right here.
With every entry, the John Wick sequence grows more and more legendary and gleefully ludicrous – and Chapter 4 appears to proceed that trajectory. In addition to the standard lashings of neon, rave-brawls, art-gallery sword fights and extra, this one seems to be set to introduce one other cabal of organised criminals who John Wick should battle his manner by way of to be able to win his freedom. There’s some intriguing stuff right here – why is Wick on talking phrases with Winston, after being mercilessly betrayed by him on the finish of Chapter 3? Will that teased team-up with Laurence Fishburne’s Bowery King truly repay? Can they provide some narrative momentum for John Wick incomes his freedom with out wrapping the saga up? And can we ever get bored with listening to Keanu emphasise the phrase “…gun”? (OK, we all know the reply to that one: nope.)
The motion seems to be suitably on level right here, too. After the bar set by Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, it has lots to dwell as much as – however the sight of Reeves bashing somebody repeatedly within the head with a nunchuk is a pure hit of cinema. Chapter 4 is as soon as once more directed by Chad Stahelski, and written by Michael Finch and Shay Hatten. Additionally among the many forged is Natalia Tena, Clancy Brown, Scott Adkins, and the one and solely Hiroyuki Sanada.
As Winston tells Wick within the trailer, “Simply have enjoyable on the market.” It seems to be just like the forged actually did – and hopefully, the viewers will too. We’ll discover out when John Wick: Chapter 4 hits UK cinemas from 24 March 2023.
