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.

Brilliant idea with great information

I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

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!
