With New York Comic-Con gearing up to get underway this weekend, it’s time to start getting excited for new footage from a handful of upcoming movies. One such film that’s looking to have a big showing is John Wick: Chapter 2, the Keanu Reeves-led sequel which will have its first trailer premiered this Saturday at the convention.
Ahead of that happening, though, we of course have the teaser for the trailer, which was Tweeted out today on the film’s official Twitter account. It doesn’t reveal a whole lot, for obvious reasons, but teases the Rome setting of the sequel along with a few shots of Mr. Wick looking all dapper before heading out to a “social affair,” where things seem to take a violent turn – if that gun he’s holding at the end is anything to go by. At only 15 seconds in length, that’s all we really get, but rest assured that the full trailer will deliver the goods when it lands this Saturday.
Welcoming back the likes of John Leguizamo, Lance Reddick, Bridget Moynahan and Game of Thrones star Ian McShane, the logline for John Wick: Chapter 2 tees up a “shadowy international assassins’ guild” and, as mentioned above, a trip to the Italian capital.
Keanu Reeves returns in the sequel to the 2014 hit as legendary hitman John Wick who is forced to back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins’ guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world’s deadliest killers. Lionsgate’s “John Wick: Chapter 2” arriving in theaters on February 10, 2017.
Among the newcomers joining Keanu Reeves in the action-thriller are Orange is the New Blackalum Ruby Rose, Common, Peter Stormare, Riccardo Scamarcio and Laurence Fishburne, with Reeves’ Matrix co-star recently teasing a “really cool” and minor role.
John Wick 2 will unleash Keanu Reeves’ force of nature on February 10th, 2017.
