Even though Keanu Reeves has ridden a horse several times in his career, the internet went wild this past summer when photos from the set of John Wick: Chapter 3 showed the title character galloping through a city street. Now, Lionsgate has released an official still from that sequence in all of its glory and it’s just as over-the-top awesome as you may have hoped. The action choreography in this franchise has been some of the best ever, thus I’m expecting this sequence to be jaw-dropping when it’s released on May 17, 2019.
Chad Stahelski’s John Wick: Chapter 3 also brings back to of the franchise’s key players, Winston (Ian McShane) and Charon (Laurence Fishburne). We also previously shared a first look at Halle Berry’s Sophia, described as “a woman on a mission.”
In the film…
“John Wick (Reeves) is on the run for two reasons… he’s being hunted for a global $14 million dollar open contract on his life, and for breaking a central rule: taking a life on Continental Hotel grounds. The victim was a member of the High Table who ordered the open contract. John should have already been executed, except the Continental’s manager, Winston, has given him a one-hour grace period before he’s “Excommunicado” – membership revoked, banned from all services and cut off from other members. John uses the service industry to stay alive as he fights and kills his way out of New York City.”
Lance Reddick also returns with the full cast including Anjelica Huston, Asia Kate Dillon, Mark Dacascos, Jason Mantzoukas, Tiger Hu Chen, Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman.
