In the post, Anderson stated what a positive experience it was working on the film. However, the most interesting part of the post is the second image of the series which shows a drawstring bag with John Wick 4: Hagakure written on it. Although this may be the official title for the film, neither director Chad Stahelski or Lionsgate have confirmed it at the time of writing.
While plot details are being kept under wraps, it’s safe to assume that John Wick 4 will pick up after the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum with Keanu Reeves’ John Wick aiming to get revenge against Ian McShane’s Winston for betraying him and taking the fight to the High Table directly.
John Wick: Chapter 4 stars Keanu Reeves as John Wick, Lance Reddick as Charon, Ian McShane as Winston, and Laurence Fishburne as The Bowery King. Newcomers to the John Wick franchise include Donnie Yen (Ip Man) as a fellow assassin who “shares his same history and many of the same enemies” as John and Japanese-British pop singer Rina Sawayama as an as-yet-unrevealed female lead, Hiroyuki Sanada (Army of the Dead) as an important character known as Watanabe, Marko Zaror (From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series) in a villain role, and Shamier Anderson (Wynonna Earp), Bill Skarsgård (It: Chapter Two), Scott Adkins (The Bourne Ultimatum) and Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption).
John Wick 4: Hagakure is currently scheduled for a May 27th, 2022 release.
