JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 Will Feature The Most Action in The Franchise and Include a Big 'Car-Fu' Action Sequence!
While we all wait for John Wick: Chapter 4 to be released, we’ve got new photos to share with you and some cool new information regarding the action. According to Keanu Reeves, this next movie will have the most action of any of the films in the franchise, which is pretty exciting! But, you know what’s even more exciting? That action will include a freakin’ “Car-Fu” action sequence that I can’t wait to see! While talking to Total Film, Reeves said:
"John Wick: Chapter 4 has the most action of any of the [John Wick] films, which is saying a lot. And it’s more by a good margin. It’s a big show.
The actor went on to say that this next movie is the hardest physical role he’s ever been a part of, and it required stunt driving skills for a “Car-Fu” action scene:
"John Wick: Chapter 4 was the hardest physical role I’ve ever had in my career so far. They really trained me up to be able to have what we call the toolbox. We took the car-driving to the next level, which I really enjoy. There’s 180s, forward-into-reverse 180s, reverse into-forward 270s, drifting… So it was really fun to get a chance to learn those skills, and to play."
Damn, that sounds like it’s going to be fun to watch! I’m excited to see how these action scenes play out. But there’s more! Donnie Yen is in the movie as a new character named Caine, and he brings "master-level fighting abilities" to the movie. According to stunt coordinator and second unit director Scott Rogers:
“He is not an actor that you have to train for each specific fight. He is a great actor who is also a trained fighter. His ability to enhance the choreography through his own creativity is world class. When you add that to the many years of John Wick training that Keanu Reeves has invested, you end up with something very special."
So, prepare yourselves for awesomeness! The action in this movie is going to be a sight to behold! Reeves says, "John Wick: Chapter 4 is our opus. Oh my god, it’s crazy, man! It’s banana cakes!"
John Wick: Chapter 4 is being helmed by Chad Stahelski, and the cast also includes Hiroyuki Sanada, Rina Sawayama, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick, Clancy Brown, Ian McShane, and Bill Skarsgard as the sinister main villain.
The movie is currently scheduled to open in theaters on May 27th, 2023. I also included some new photos below.
