What, you thought these movies were still about Keanu Reeves avenging a dog? He was then scooped up by the Bowery King (Lawrence Fishburne), a master assassin who runs a shadow cabal hidden among New York's homeless population and vowed to wage war on the Table with Wick. After fending off scores of attackers side-by-side, Winston double-crossed John to appease the High Table, shooting him in the chest and sending him careening off the roof of the hotel. That led John on a global quest for vindication from the council's leader, all while being pursued by armies of killers and ninjas commanded by The Adjudicator (Asia Kate Dillon) and sushi chef/assassin/John Wick superfan Zero (Mark Dacascos).Įventually, John returned to NY and refused an order to kill longtime friend Winston (Ian McShane), owner of the Continental hotel that serves as an embassy and safe haven for the assassin world. Parabellum saw Wick fleeing New York after being declared 'excommunicado' by the High Table, a nefarious world-controlling syndicate of assassins who did not take kindly to John shooting one of its top members in the face on protected ground.

The assassin known as Baba Yaga has survived car crashes, stabbings, dismemberment, torture, bullets and multi-story falls, but even he couldn't fend off COVID. Fans quickly noticed it was the very same date projected for The Matrix 4, causing fans to decree May 21 Keanu Reeves Day, a holiday that remains inexplicably unofficial according to world governments. The yet-untitled John Wick 4 was announced immediately after John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum was released to near universal acclaim in 2019, getting tagged with a release date. Here's everything we know about the return of the world's most lethal dog lover.

News about the new installment of the beloved franchise - which began as a simple revenge B-move with style to spare in 2014 and has grown in scope, popularity and physicality with each successive installment - is coming fast and furious now that filming is underway.

And with production of John Wick 4 currently underway, the 56-year-old icon appears perfectly content to roll all the way into his 60s dodging knives and engaging in spectacular feats of balletic violence. Like a much-calmer Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves has decided to spend his 50s getting repeatedly bounced off of cars, smashed through glass and shooting scores of nameless thugs for our entertainment.
