New images from John Wick: Chapter 4 show off several aspects of the new film, including Keanu Reeves' hitman chatting with Laurence Fishburne's Bowery King and Ian McShane's Winston. After the explosive ending to John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, Reeves' hitman is set to return in a fourth installment, with longtime franchise director Chad Stahelski once again at the helm. As was shown off in the first trailer released last fall, the upcoming fourth film will introduce a host of new characters and settings for Wick to battle his way through. John Wick: Chapter 4 is expected to follow Reeves' titular character as he enacts a plan to take down the High Table, setting him on a collision course with old friends.
Now, three images shared by Total Film (via GamesRadar) show Reeves on set in John Wick: Chapter 4. One of the images features Reeves on set in Paris with the Eiffel Tower in the background while another features him conversing with the Bowery King and Winston. The third image highlights Yen's dangerous new assassin, Caine, who sports a pistol and, fittingly, a walking cane. Check out the new images below:
John Wick: Chapter 4's Allies & Enemies Explained
It wouldn't be a new John Wick film without a handful of interesting new characters and shifting allegiances, and the upcoming film is certainly no exception. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum ends with Winston shooting John off of a rooftop, seemingly to his death, but the film ends with Reeves' character being brought before Fishburne's Bowery King, with whom he forms an alliance to topple the High Tower. This would suggest that Fishburne's character and Reeves' will be aligned in John Wick: Chapter 4, with Winston serving as an antagonist for the first time after his surprising betrayal. In addition to these familiar faces, however, the upcoming movie will also feature a number of new characters for John to contend with.
One of the most exciting additions is Yen's Caine, who is described as one of John's old friends. Although they've apparently broken bread in the past, John Wick: Chapter 4 will see the two characters come to blows, as was briefly shown off in the film's trailer. In addition to Yen, Bill Skarsgård joins the John Wick: Chapter 4 cast as Marquis, a significant figure and seemingly the film's big bad who sits at the High Table. Hiroyuki Sanada also joins the film as Shimazu, an old ally of Wick's who looks like he might actually lend Reeves' character a helping hand if Sanada's own comments are anything to go by.
John Wick: Chapter 4 also features a host of other new actors, including Scott Adkins, Rina Sawayama, Shamier Anderson, and Natalia Tena, whose characters remain much more mysterious. Many questions remain regarding John Wick: Chapter 4 but it certainly looks like, once again, the deck will be stacked against Reeves' hero. While many of the new and returning characters will be out to get Wick, it does look like, this time, Reeves' assassin may be getting a little bit of help from a few others.
