With San Diego Comic-Con finally underway, Lionsgate has released the first official look at their highly-anticipated action sequel John Wick: Chapter 4 (rumored titled John Wick: Chapter 4 - Hagakure), featuring leading man Keanu Reeves taking a moment to pray before embarking on his biggest and bloodiest revenge mission yet.
Plot details remain locked away in the deepest corners of The Continental for now, but it seems as though the long-awaited John Wick sequel will have some sort of presence at the annual convention, despite not having an official panel scheduled.
Reeves has been confirmed for a Hall H appearance tomorrow to tease his upcoming BRZRKR movie for Netflix, while director Chad Stahelski will also be in the area, taking part in a separate director's panel. Whether that's by design or just a lucky coincidence remains to be seen, but we wouldn't rule out a possible surprise trailer launch. The studio did previously reveal the first footage at CinemaCon earlier this year, so there's always a chance they'll screen the same footage for attendees with maybe some extra goodness.
Check out the first look image below:
Reeves will be joined by an all-new supporting cast consisting of Donnie Yen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story; xXx: The Return of Xander Cage), newcomer Rina Sawayama as Akira, Shamier Anderson (Wynonna Earp; Goliath), Bill Skarsgård (It; Deadpool 2), Hiroyuki Sanada (The Last Samurai; The Wolverine), Scott Adkins (X-Men Origins: Wolverine; Doctor Strange), Marko Zaror (Alita: Battle Angel; Sultan), and Clancy Brown (Thor: Ragnarok; Daredevil).
Additionally, Laurence Fishburne (The Bowery King), Ian McShane (Winston), and Lance Reddick (Charon) will all reprise their roles for the next installment.
Chad Stahelski is back in the director's chair, this time utilizing a screenplay from Shay Hatten and Michael Finch. Stahelski co-directed the first installment with David Leitch, but was the sole director on both Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
John Wick: Chapter 4 is scheduled to hit theaters on March 24, 2023.
