‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ First Look: The Hitman And His Dog Go For A Walk
Aside from the fact thatJohn Wickwas one of the best action thrillers we’ve seen in awhile, one of the reasons everyone fell in love with the movie was the adorable puppy that the titular assassin had. But audiences were heartbroken to learn that the dog actually ends up being one of the catalysts to John Wick coming back to action because some a**holes kill that cute little puppy.
Thankfully, John Wick got a new dog at the end of the first movie, and as a newJohn Wick 2photo shows us, no one has killed that dog yet. The first official photo fromJohn Wick 2has just surfaced, and it features the hitman and his trusty canine taking a walk. I swear on everything that is holy, if someone kills that dog, there will be hell to pay.
Here’s the firstJohn Wick: Chapter 2photo from Lionsgate:
Keanu Reeveslooks like he has some residue from an explosion on his shirt and body. Or maybe he’s just dirty from getting into some fisticuffs at the dog park. Anything is possible with John Wick.
Since theteaser poster for the sequelalso just debuted recently, we’re betting the first trailer is right around the corner. After all, Lionsgate is having a panel at New York Comic-Con for both this sequel and their newPower Rangersmovie. We know footage of the latter will definitely be shown, and NYCC seems like the best time to unveil the first trailer for John Wick 2 as well. As soon as it’s available online, you know we’ll have it right here.
Movies like this usually don’t get people excited anymore, but John Wick had that special combination of a badass Keanu Reeves and some incredible action and violence to engage the audiences who just eat that up. That’s largely thanks to director Chad Stahelski, who is back behind the camera again for the sequel. Will he be able to capture the magic that made the first movie so great? If he does his job well, it will hopefully up the ante a little bit.
The rest of theJohn Wick 2cast includes the return ofJohn Leguizamo, Lance ReddickandIan McShanefrom the first film as well as new cast membersLaurence Fishburne, Ruby Rose, Common, Peter StormareandRiccardo Scamarcio. Stay tuned for more soon
