John Wick is back and ready to up his body count. Released Friday night at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, the trailer for the fourth entry in the action franchise features plenty of exciting action and plenty of Donnie Yen. Sign up with us!
Per Variety, the trailer made a surprise debut during another SDCC panel that featured director Chad Stahelski as a panelist. Reeves “crashed” the panel and debuted the footage.
What are the odds that the fourth film in the franchise is any good? It’s happened before, and the hit-to-date history of the Wick franchise and incredible cast bode well. In addition to returning Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane and Lance Reddick, the newest entry adds Yen, Hiroyuki Sanada, Bill Skarsgård and martial arts stars Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror.
In the trailer we see glimpses of Skarsgård’s character, but of course it’s Yen and Sanada who steal the show. The clip features multiple fight scenes with Yen — one where he and Reeves fight with both a gun and a sword, and one where he and Sanada engage in a sword fight. For my part, I can’t wait.
John Wick 4 is slated to hit theaters on March 24, 2023.
