The man, the myth, and the legend returns in John Wick: Chapter 4, stuntman-turned-filmmaker Chad Stahelski’s latest installment in his lore-rich action franchise. Starring Keanu Reeves as the titular legendary assassin, the director informs us that Chapter 4 will dig even deeper into the posh underworld that deals in death and debauchery while maintaining a high degree of class, and adhering to a strict set of guidelines. From John Wick’s 2014 debut, each film has expounded on screenwriter Derek Kolstad’s universe of masterful assassins, revealing more about the fearsome High Table of crime lords, the killer safe space known as the Continental Hotel, and the intertwined lives of these calculating underworld denizens.
During his interview with Collider’s Editor-in-Chief Steven Weintraub, Stahelski revealed that John Wick 4 will be the saga’s longest-running entry, with “at least a third more scenes than the last one,” will take place across some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes, and will explore some of John Wick’s familial past. The director also discussed filming in the Louvre, who Bill Skarsgård plays in the film, the experience seeing Donnie Yen and Hiroyuki Sanada in one-on-one combat, Clancy Brown’s “pivotal” role, what's next for Stahelski and more.
