In an interview with Esquire, lead star Keanu Reeves has teased the opening action sequence in the upcoming fourth instalment of the John Wick franchise, possibly titled John Wick 4: Hagakure.
As Reeves explains it, “there’s a sequence — hopefully, knock on wood — in John Wick 4, the opening sequence. John Wick is back in the desert on a horse. I’m going to hopefully be able to fast-gallop and run.” Reeves continued by stating that he is currently learning how to properly ride horses for the scene.
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.
