Based on what we have seen so far from the upcoming action sequel John Wick: Chapter 4, things are not going to be easy for the assassin or the actor who portrays him, Keanu Reeves. Well, according to Reeves, who appeared at CCXP over the weekend where he unveiled a new poster, filming John Wick: Chapter 4 was just as hard as it looks, with the actor calling the project “the hardest film” he has ever made.
Luckily for audiences, making difficult action movies is what Keanu Reeves loves to do. While appearing at the event, the beloved actor revealed a few more details of the highly anticipated installment in the hugely successful John Wick franchise, including that “there’s a lot of people that are coming after [Wick], and there [are] a lot of different kinds of scenes that are fun for the action.” Frankly, it wouldn’t be much of a John Wick movie without either of those things.
“John Wick 4 is the hardest movie I’ve ever made. In terms of action, it’s the hardest film I’ve ever made. But that’s what makes it good.”

“The table is this world above the world; and the people, the assassins, under the table are as boundless as the grains of sand on the beach. So there [are] a lot of people coming after John Wick. But really, for the John Wick film[s], it’s really just the invention of the scene, right? How can you do these scenes?”

John Wick: Chapter 4 will find Keanu Reeves’ unstoppable hitman once again on a quest for both survival and revenge after uncovering a path to defeating the High Table. But before he can earn his freedom, Wick must face off against a new enemy with powerful alliances across the globe and forces that turn old friends into foes. With the price on his head ever-increasing, John Wick: Chapter 4 sees Wick takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Osaka to Berlin.
Directed once again by Chad Stahelski, John Wick: Chapter 4 will push the actor and the spectacle further than ever before. Even so, the filmmaker thinks things will need to get even better should John Wick 5 get the greenlight. “Keanu’s got to get better. I’m saying he’s got to get better at John Wick. He’s got to expand, he’s got to get better at martial arts. He’s got to get better in every way.” Of course, it’s not just Reeves who needs to “get better” if they ever hope to reach the heights Stahelski has in mind for a fifth outing. “It starts with me. So if you want a better John Wick 5, I’ve got to get better.”
Starring Keanu Reeves, Donnie Yen as Caine, Bill Skarsgård as The Marquis de Gramont, Laurence Fishburne as The Bowery King, Hiroyuki Sanada as Shimazu, Shamier Anderson as Tracker, Lance Reddick as Charon, Rina Sawayama as Akira, Scott Adkins as Killa, and Ian McShane as Winston Scott, as well as Clancy Brown, Marko Zaror, and Natalia Tena, John Wick: Chapter 4 is scheduled to be released on March 24, 2023, by Lionsgate.
