LOS ANGELES, March 2 ― We don’t know about you, but we so can’t wait to see Keanu Reeves back on the big screen in John Wick: Chapter Two.
According to IGN, Reeves recently revealed how the team tried to up the game for the 2014 cult sensation. Shooting for the sequel is reportedly finished and Reeves explained that the film will expand on the Wick mythology.
“For us it was just what is the next chapter? What is the continuation of this story? Opening up the world ― the underground world. The world behind the world in terms of the assassins. Kind of evolving the action ― if the first one was a black belt, then this one is third degree black belt. It’s such a fun project and a great character.”
John Wick: Chapter Two will introduce new characters and it will also reunite Reeves with his The Matrix co-star Laurence Fishburne.
“Laurence has this fantastic role as a character in the Underworld called The Bowery King. He plays such a great character in the piece and he brings of course humour, intelligence, charisma and fascination ― he’s such an incredible actor and it was a pleasure to work with him again.
“And Peter Stormare ― Stormare has more of a cameo in it but again he brings such fun and mystery and this mixture of groundedness and the surreal.”
John Wick: Chapter Two also stars Common, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, Lance Reddick and Bridget Moynahan. It is set for release on February 10, 2017.
