New Images from the ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ Set Reveal New Friends & Foes
Images of John Wick: Chapter Four filming on location in Paris reveal new characters – including a new bow-welding assassin.
The fourth chapter picks up after Wick joins forces with the Bowery King to take down the High Table. Beyond its rules, the organization of assassins has been kept in the shadows until this chapter – including its high-ranking members. The intricacies of the authority structure and who is running the organization will finally be revealed. As will more of Wick’s history with the Ruska Roma.
John Wick Chapter 4 Raises the Action Bar
The franchise is known for its non-stop action and stunts. Director Chad Stahelski has discussed the action sequences in Chapter 4 before – working with Donnie Yen was a dream come true. The supporting cast is consistently packed with the top stunt performers in the business, and the team creates scene after scene that blows audiences’ minds.
Reeves is known for the dedication he puts into action roles and he does most of his own stunts. For this movie, he trained with judo and jiu-jitsu practitioner Dave Camarillo to keep in top fighting shape, and he had to beef up his already impressive driving skills.
John Wick: Chapter 4 was the hardest physical role I’ve ever had in my career so far. They really trained me up to be able to have what we call the toolbox. We took the car-driving to the next level, which I really enjoy. There’s 180s, forward-into-reverse 180s, reverse into-forward 270s, drifting… So it was really fun to get a chance to learn those skills, and to play. John Wick: Chapter 4 is our opus. Oh my god, it’s crazy, man! It’s banana cakes!
