The Plot
John Wick: Chapter 4 reveals that Wick is looking to find peace after constantly having to kill people to stay alive. However, the High Table has other plans. In this chapter, he has to challenge the members of the High Table in order to escape death. You have to watch the movie to know what Wick finally does to find redemption and escape death.
In The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Keanu reveals, “In this chapter, I am looking for my personal freedom – trying to get my ring back (which doesn’t happen) and I get a little angry. There’s a whole bunch of characters and we’re opening up the world of the High Table.”
Stellar star cast
Keanu Reeves reprises his role as John Wick along with Donnie Yen who plays Caine, a blind High Table assassin who is also an old friend of John. Bill Skarsgard plays the role of Marquis, a member of the High Table whose position is challenged by Wick and Laurence Fishburne plays the Bowery King. In addition to this, the movie also stars Shamier Anderson, Hiroyuki Sanada, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama and Scott Adkins in pivotal roles.
“Chad really hooked on this idea of trying to study John Wick through the situations of other characters and he was drawn to the good, the bad and the ugly. Enter Donnie Yen as Caine, Shamier Anderson as the tracker and so on” Keanu told a popular Hollywood daily.
You will be following their stories as they’re trying to get John Wick and Caine.” he added.
Fun fact: The director of the John Wick franchise, Chad Stahelski is not only a former kickboxer but also got his start in the industry as a stuntman. That’s not all, he served as a stunt double for Keanu Reeves in The Matrix. Safe to say that the stunts and the fight sequences in the movie are top-tier.
