Keanu Reeves returns as hitman John Wick for the fourth time in 2023 after starring in the original John Wick movie released in 2014. In the initial storyline, poor Wick had to not only deal with the death of his wife and puppy but had a bounty on his head. The first film was almost canceled just a few weeks prior to filming, so Chapter 4 must feel like revenge both on and off the big screen. Executives had doubts about a first-time director and a star who was at that time in a career lull.
This rollercoaster ride has Reeves once again on top and proving one doesn't need a mass of muscle to be a successful action star. The story continues after Chapter 3: Parabellum and wraps up the New York Continental Hotel part of the plot. Wick travels to Paris to seek assistance from a blind, retired Hight Table assassin named Caine. This leads to the idea of Wick freeing himself from being hunted by the Table and participating in a deadly duel to accomplish that.
