With its release set for this coming Friday, John Wick: Chapter 2 has seen everything from Super Bowl TV spots to a spoof Fifty Shades of Grey poster and a world premiere where Keanu Reeves himself attended the festivities and stated that the sequel was created from fan feedback and made with love.
Reeves is now starting to do the usual interview rounds, and spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the possibility of doing a third film, stating: “I love the character and the world. Whether or not I get the chance to do another chapter is really up to the audience. If they enjoy what we did — and hopefully they do, fingers-crossed, I really dig it — but if they do enjoy it, then I’ll have the chance to continue the story of the character and the world.”
Legendary hitman John Wick is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world’s deadliest killers.
John Wick: Chapter 2 is set for release on February 10th in the US and on February 17th in the UK and reunites Reeves with the original’s co-director Chad Stahelski and returning stars Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, Bridget Monahan, Tom Sadowski, and Lance Reddick. New additions to the cast include Laurence Fishburne (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Common (Selma), Ruby Rose (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter), Riccardo Scamarcio (Burnt) and Peter Stormare (Fargo).
