John Wick

Topping 'Chapter 3' is a tall order but based on this trailer, the new film just may have done it.

Yen’s character also narrates a short section of the trailer, saying, “The only way John Wick will ever have freedom and peace is in death.” (Director Chad Stahelski hyped up a fight between Yen’s character and legendary Japanese action star Hiroyuki Sanada in It will also feature some blockbuster globetrotting, reportedly including scenes shot in Jordan, Germany, Japan, France and the United States. Soundtracked by a clever take on Nas’ “Got Ur Self A Gun,” the many moments we glimpse include Wick using a flamethrower, shooting opponents in the midst of heavy Paris traffic, and even getting help from his beloved pooch. A [newly released trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqF6zlHRdL8) sees Keanu Reeves’ fan-favorite hitman on the lam from the assassins of the High Table, picking up right where the third movie left off in 2019. That initial trailer set the stakes that are further emphasized here: a one-on-one battle between Wick and Marquis will decide whether he can truly wash his hands of all this bloodshed and move on, as WIck has been trying to do since the first film.

The final trailer for John Wick 4 has arrived; and it might contain a few more horses than we were expecting.

There’s a shot of the Eiffel Tower, too, just to hint at where we are. [equestrian](https://whynow.co.uk/read/eo-review-a-tragic-odyssey-of-equine-proportions) muscles a little extra flex. Horses were a John Wick 3 thing, right?

John Wick: Chapter 4 — in theaters March 24th — puts Wick and the Bowery King against a fleet of new assassins and some chaotic traffic in latest trailer.

[John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum](https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/17/18186593/john-wick-chapter-3-trailer-keanu-reeves), most every assassin affiliated with the High Table had every reason to believe that John Wick was quite dead and no longer a problem they needed to be concerned about. The trailer makes it unclear whether Scott’s working directly with Wick and the Bowery King to help them succeed. The biggest takeaway from the new [John Wick: Chapter 4](https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/10/23451451/john-wick-chapter-4-trailer-keanu-reeves-bill-skarsgard) trailer: the High Table was very, very wrong.

The follow-up to 2019's John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum will once again provide audiences with the stylish action that the series is known for, and we have gotten a new taste of just what action is in store for us as a brand-new trailer has just been released.

Through its recent experiences, the company has rediscovered its love and appreciation for filmmakers, and the impact of the theatrical experience. I believe David Zaslav, Michael De Luca, and Pam Abdy have dedicated themselves to unique filmmakers, and to filling theaters all around the world for years to come.” “Disney and Universal, where I’ve made most of my films, will always be home and family to me. Most recently, Hiroyuki Sanada (Mortal Kombat) has also signed on to star. Chad Stahelski (John Wick 1-3) will again direct. Glimpsed in the trailer, he shoots a couple bad guys while they’re flying through the air after they’ve been hit by a car, which surely unlocks a new trophy for Wick.

Keanu Reeves returns as John Wick for "John Wick: Chapter 4" with director Chad Stahelski, in theaters March 24.

Reeves and co-star McShane are set to appear in the spinoff film “Ballerina” starring Ana de Armas as a graduate of the Director’s (Angelica Huston) ballet academy who is forced out of retirement after a gang murders her whole family. “Chapter 4” picks up after Wick was delivered to the Bowery King (Fishburne) at the end of “John Wick Chapter 3,” after trying to topple the assassin hierarchy of The High Table. And bushido is definitely a theme in our film – you know, the code of the samurai – so, from the outside, it feels like a great fit, the idea of honor and sacrifice. [Comic Book Resources](https://www.cbr.com/john-wick-keanu-reeves-japanese-cinema-anime-influence/), “Japanese anime and Japanese filmmaking have definitely been something I’ve loved and have been influenced by.

John Wick will do anything for freedom, even if that means taking down the entire High Table. Here's the final trailer for John Wick: Chapter 4.

Chapter 4 will reportedly be the Anyone that stands in his way will be met with a bullet. And everywhere John visits, he brings his gun and kills a lot of people. John will do anything for freedom, as evidenced in the final trailer for Set to Nas’ Got Yourself a Gun, the trailer follows John as he discovers a way to earn his freedom. He must challenge a member of the High Table, The Marquis de Gramont (It’s Bill Skarsgård), to single combat.

Colin Woodell will portray a young Winston (who is played by Ian McShane in the film series) who is just learning about the ins and outs of rubbing elbows with the most dangerous men and women on the planet. Set in 1970s New York City, which is historically not the best or safest place to be in, The Continental will show to humble beginnings of the infamous hotel where all of the well-dressed assassins come to get a good night’s sleep. And the universe is expanding with the upcoming [John Wick 4 ](https://uproxx.com/movies/john-wick-4-trailer/)and the introduction of The Continental, the upcoming series based on the hit franchise.

Chad Stahelski and David Leitch weren't trying to push boundaries -- they had no choice but to adapt.

](https://www.slashfilm.com/580690/the-continental-plot-details/) All of this is a testament to the impact Stahelski and Leitch had by developing their unique action style, even if it was born out of necessity rather than a desire to push gun-fu to new places. Chad Stahelski and David Leitch have previously spoken about their love for Hong Kong cinema — and there's absolutely no doubt they were inspired by the gun-fu style and the John Woo movies from which it arose. And once Keanu Reeves, who'd worked with Stahelski on "The Matrix," showed them the "John Wick" script, they were convinced it was the movie they'd been looking for. And when you're trying to sell the idea of realism, the last thing you want to worry about is making obviously fake punches look real with clever editing techniques — especially if you're trying to keep the audience immersed with long takes. But with just 47 days on the production calendar — the first "John Wick" was made for The only way to fix that kind of thing would be with cuts. This westernized form of the style would add an element of accuracy and precision that imbued the frenzied shots with a sense that the gunslingers themselves were highly-competent, highly trained, and much more deadly. [six-minute-long take](https://www.slashfilm.com/530343/true-detective-see-the-six-minute-long-take-and-new-mondo-poster/) of Matthew McConaughey's Rust Cohle fighting his way through a housing project. The film's unique combination of martial arts and gunplay also made use of long takes, complex camera movement, and intricate blocking to heighten the intensity of its battles. The "John Wick" movies have gone from cult favorites to legitimate blockbusters over the past decade, bolstered by a thrilling form of action design practiced by Keanu Reeves. The celebrated first season of Nic Pizzolatto's crime drama caused a stir with its Legendary Hong Kong filmmaker John Woo pioneered gun-fu in the '80s by taking movie gun fights from sequences of static shots to highly-choreographed, kinetic experiences.

None of which is all that surprising. Franchise director Chad Stahelski is, after all, a stunt performer and choreographer, which means the action sequences ...

That focus on enhancing the believability of the fight scenes is all-important when the overall premise of a near-invincible assassin who can fend off armies of combatants is, in and of itself, pretty unbelievable. Part of that has involved intense training for Keanu Reeves, allowing him to perform most of the on-screen action, then using long, unbroken takes during filming to enhance the believability that Reeves is actually as capable as Wick. For Keanu Reeves, whose dedication to performing almost all of Wick's fight scenes and stunts borders on obsessive, he simply had to see that particular aspect of his character's mythology in action the second time around. [The action movie majesty of the "John Wick" series](https://www.slashfilm.com/549194/john-wick-chapter-2-analysis/) has always been its main draw, but it's made even more effective by the mythology behind the titular character. And as "John Wick: Chapter 2" came together, they found that the mythology actually informed the action — especially with one specific fight scene. And whereas the first movie showed at least some deference to plot and humanizing its titular assassin, as the saga has progressed, he's become much more of a one-dimensional badass.

John Wick: Chapter 4 star Keanu Reeves teases the stunts in the new film, including an epic sequence at the Arc de Triomphe.

Rogers explains, for the said action sequence “We tore all the doors and lost the windshield, you’re gonna do a reverse 180 and you gotta shoot a gun, and you gotta reload. In the new clip, Reeves notes the challenges of doing all the stunt work, “it’s been about 12 weeks of training. It’s new levels of action you know, “let’s have nunchucks which was challenging.” Adds, Scott Rogers, stunt coordinator, “John Wick movies they’re known for Keanu Reeves doing the stunts.
