Laurence Fishburne Reunites With Keanu Reeves for JOHN WICK 2
It looks like we're going to see a little Matrix reunion in John Wick 2, as Laurence Fishburne will join Keanu Reeves in the film in a small role. Fishburne was spotted on the set of the film this week in Brooklyn and was photographed by Gothamist. Fishburne’s reps confirmed that the actor was shooting a cameo.
There's no other information on Fishburne's role in the film, but it will be cool to see these two actors together again on the big screen, even if it's just for a brief moment. Hopefully, they fight because that would be amazing!
Chad Stahelski, who co-directed the original with David Leitch, is helming the sequel. The movie also co-stars Ruby Rose (Orange is the New Black, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter), Riccardo Scamarcio (Burnt), Peter Stormare (Fargo), Common (who's playing one of the villains), John Leguizamo, Ian McShane, Bridget Moynahan, Tom Sadowski, and Lance Reddick.
Reeves had this to say about the film's story in a previous interview:
“I think we have a really good premise, and it’s an organic premise. It’s basically — to me there’s John Wick and then there’s John. You know, John is the married guy whose wife just died, and that five years of his life. Then there’s John Wick, who’s the mythical assassin. In this, John Wick’s past comes and infiltrates John’s life and John Wick, in a way, has to fight for John.”
The movie will be released in 2016, and I can't wait to see what it entails!
