Los Angeles, April 29 (IANS): The first look of the Keanu Reeves-starrer, ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ was unveiled at the recently-concluded CinemaCon 2022 where it acted as the closing piece to the event which saw a slew of announcements, reports ‘Variety’.
Appearing during the Lionsgate presentation at the annual exhibition trade show, Reeves was greeted with lusty applause and chants of “you’re the man!” from attendees, as quoted by ‘Variety’. The next instalment once again teams Reeves with stuntman-turned-director Chad Stahelski.
Lionsgate has high hopes for ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ considering each chapter in the franchise has outgrossed its predecessor.
As per ‘Variety’, the original ‘John Wick’ minted $86 million worldwide in 2014 followed by $171.5 million for ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ in 2017 and $327.3 million for ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’ in 2019.
In the footage screened, Wick is on his perpetual revenge tour – this time taking on a decidedly lone ninja vibe – seen punching a wooden post to the point of his knuckles bleeding as co-star Laurence Fishburne acts as his hype man.
