Variety is reporting that Lionsgate has confirmed that Keanu Reeves will be reprising his role in John Wick 2, the sequel to the hyperviolent action thriller about a retired hitman who comes out of retirement to take revenge on the men who killed his puppy, a gift from his late wife. David Leitch and Chad Stahelski are also set to return as directors with the script written by Derek Kolstad, who wrote the first.
No release date has been set but it’s exciting to hear that we’re getting a sequel. The original was a great return to what action movies were all about, which was gratuitous amounts of violence based off a razor thin plot. The film also boasted a fantastic kill count, with Wick offing 76 people in the course of 101 minutes.
