John Wick: Chapter 4 – What You Need To Know

John Wick returns! Personally, I can’t wait. If they keep up the standard of the first three I’d be happy to see this franchise running as long as the James Bond one!

Who is John Wick?

John Wick is (was) a retired hit man. He was an exceptionally good one. Liam Neeson thought he had a particular set of skills, but he was nothing compared to John Wick. John was happily retired and living with his wife. Unfortunately, she took ill and died. Just before she passed away she arranged for him to get a puppy to comfort him. Some dodgy Russian gangsters came around and took his car and killed the puppy. Then John Wick came out of retirement…

First Look Trailer

Cast

Keanu Reeves is back in the title role. Despite what I said earlier about this franchise going on as long as the Bond one, I can’t imagine anyone other than Keanu as the lead. Other returnees include Laurence Fishburne (The Bowery King), Ian McShane (Winston), and Lance Reddick (Charon).

Some newcomers that I’m looking forward to seeing are Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, and Clancy Brown all in, as yet, unknown roles.

about the RunPee app.

Best app ever!

RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!

RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!

We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!

Characters, So Far, In John Wick 4

Well…John Wick, obviously.

The Bowery King is the head of a modern-day version of Sherlock Holmes’ Baker Street Irregulars. Winston and Charon are, again, the manager and concierge, respectively, of the New York Continental Hotel; neutral ground for all the professional assassins passing through in search of a bed for the night. And, as I said earlier, there are still unknown roles.

John Wick’s Backstory

John Wick was a retired hitman. He was dragged back into the profession in the first film. The second and third films saw him getting a price on his head, which just got bigger. As a result, all the people he used to call colleagues now see him as a source of income.

Sequels?

John Wick 5 was, originally, going to be shot back to back with John Wick 4 (how very Matrix 2 and 3 of him!) but, well, COVID, etc. So there is a fifth outing in the pipeline. Keanu Reeves said he will carry on making sequels as long as the films are successful. So get out there and buy your tickets!
