In 2017 volgde een succesvoller tweede deel en in 2019 haalde Chapter 3 maar liefst $326,7 miljoen op. Nu is het bijna tijd voor deel vier.
Chapter 4
Later deze maand verschijnt John Wick: Chapter 4 en uiteraard speelt Keanu Reeves weer de titelrol. De film is ondertussen aan de pers vertoond en hieronder lees je de eerste online reacties op de film van regisseur Chad Stahelski.
Eerste reacties
De film wordt door Joblo.com al "episch" genoemd en de vechtscènes worden uiteraard weer bejubeld. Ook wordt duidelijk dat de film langer duurt dan twee en een half uur. Best lang zou je zeggen.
#JohnWick4 is epic! The fight sequences are electrifying. Reeves owns Wick, and the addition of Bill Skarsgård, Hiroyuki Sanada, Scott Adkins, and Donnie Yen bring this impressive feature to an operatic finale! Fastest 2 hours and 38 minutes ever!

Adrenaline shot
Uiteraard zijn er meer reacties. Zo vinden velen de film een ware "darenaline shot" en de vele (nieuwe) personages van bekende acteurs worden geprezen. Steven Weintraub van Collider noemt de film zelfs "f*cking awesome".
Vanaf 23 maart draait hoofdstuk 4 in de Nederlandse bioscoopzalen.
Brawny, bold & badass, #JohnWick4 brilliantly balances vested stakes with an absolutely spectacular, high octane thrill ride. A soaring, searing, scorching chapter in the saga. The wildest time you'll have at the movies this year. A pure adrenaline rush. pic.twitter.com/eUmJRfnwJw

Also the movie is 2 hr and 49 minutes and I never felt it. The pacing is fantastic and the film earns the runtime. If you're going to see it make sure to watch in @IMAX.

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 was as badass & as awesome as I hoped it would be.

I didn't mind the lengthy runtime cause the Arc de Triomphe relentless action alone was worth it.
And the gun-fu of Keanu Reeves VS. Donnie Yen lived up to the hype.#JohnWick4 #JW4 #KeanuReeves #DonnieYen pic.twitter.com/v6E7wAB70Q
I had reservations about John Wick: Chapter 4's nearly three hour runtime, but the movie earns it. It's an epic with smart pacing that never lets the action feel exhausting, and the set pieces are phenomenal. Great cast of series newcomers, but Donnie Yen is the MVP. #JohnWick4 pic.twitter.com/xyMbLXmXUM

#JohnWick4 is an action-packed, bloody, kill-fest, and that's what makes it good! I normally don't love so much action in my movies but Stahelski makes every frame count. Yes, it's ridiculous. Yes, it's video game logic. Yes, it's extra as hell. Yes, I will be watching again! pic.twitter.com/D56ODsTTcq

One of the greatest action movies ever made, #JohnWick4 tops all 3 of its predecessors in storytelling, scope & stakes, countless astonishing set pieces, hard to fathom it's all contained within one film, Bill Skarsgård slays, a hellaciously thrilling franchise finish (?) 9.5/10 pic.twitter.com/2jDwXle21J
