Fans of Keanu Reeves and the series about the legendary killer John Wick can’t wait for the Polish premiere, which is scheduled for March 24, 2023. The creators of John Wick 4 are almost certain that the film will be a box office success and will earn at least $ 200 million. For now, more interesting facts are coming to the network, and the actors no longer have to be so enigmatic and are more willing to reveal the “smalls” from the plan.
Why does Reeves consider the fourth part to be the biggest challenge in his career so far?
I will not hide that working on “John Wick 4” cost me a lot. After each shooting day, I was exhausted, both physically and mentally. However, I am sure that the viewers will appreciate our work, because the fourth part – in my humble opinion – is the most interesting and spectacular.
– admitted the lead actor in one of the last interviews
Despite the enormous fatigue resulting from Reeves’ maximum involvement in the work on the film, the actor assured that he had a huge appetite to play John Wick for the fifth time. He is convinced that he has not yet said goodbye to his favorite hero.
For now, however, I have to be patient because I have no idea how the audience will react and whether they will like the fourth part. If everything goes as planned by the producers of the series, I am ready to return to the set in the near future. I only need about half a year of rest to regenerate and rebuild
– added Reeves in one of the entries on social media.
Stars in the cast
The creators of John Wick 4 decided to make the production a bit more attractive. Hence the idea to hire the legendary Donnie Yen, a martial arts veteran. It is thanks to him that battle shots gained a new quality.
He is a very creative actor. A true professional. He brought new energy to our production and also showed the actors some tricks and fighting techniques. Keanu also used his guidance. This cooperation has brought very good results
commented director Chad Stahelski.
Who was played by Donnie Yena in John Wick 4 ?
He played Caine, who was initially supposed to be a blind samurai. Ultimately, Yen convinced me to a completely different concept. That’s why we’ll see him in a suit on the screen. I will also say that when building his character, he was inspired by Bruce Lee
the director added.
In addition to him, Shamier Anderson and Bill Skarsgård have also joined the cast.
Japanese inspirations
During the execution of the fight scenes in John Wick 4 , the actors also drew inspiration from … Japanese cartoons.
I am no stranger to Japanese anime and Japanese film production, and the samurai code, the idea of honor and sacrifice fits perfectly with our production. In the fourth part, you can see strong Japanese influences and viewers will easily pick it up
– said Keanu Reeves during one of the conversations.
Will the investment pay off? The creators of the John Wick series openly talk about the impressive budget that was consumed by the fourth installment of the adventures of the legendary killer: $ 90 million. This is the most expensive part made so far. However, the investment does not keep them awake at night, because they plan to earn more than twice as much on the film. Given that John Wick 3 cost them $55 million, and the film earned as much as $327 million, there is a high probability that this goal will be achieved.
What is John Wick 4 about ?
In the fourth installment, John Wick will once again face dangerous criminals waiting for his life. The legendary killer will fight in the world’s greatest cities: from New York to Paris, Osaka and Berlin. What will John Wick delight with this time? We will find out on March 24, 2022, when the blockbuster hits cinema screens.
