Laurence Fishburne promises that John Wick: Chapter 4 is the best entry in the franchise so far.
The John Wick series tells the story of an assassin who comes out of retirement to be once again embroiled in the criminal underworld after his dog is killed.
Within the franchise, Fishburne plays The Bowery King, an ally of Wick's. Fishburne and Reeves famously played Neo and Morpheus in The Matrix trilogy, too. John Wick 4 will be released in March of 2023, and Fishburne is promising fireworks.
"Number four is gonna be ... honestly, when I read it I was like, this is the best one ... it just was." he told Variety.
"From the way that it opens, there are like 3 or 4 really incredible set pieces that are just like, woah. There are new characters, one, in particular, that's so much fun. Well, actually three are crazy fun."
The movie has been seen by critics and has received very positive reviews so far, with the action sequences highlighted for particular praise.
How will the John Wick franchise end?
Director Chad Stahelski insists that the franchise will likely not have a happy ending due to the turmoil that Wick has went through.
"John may survive all this shit but at the end of it, there's no happy ending. He's got nowhere to go," he said in an interview with IndieWire.
"Honestly, I challenge you right now, here's a question to you: How do you fucking want me to end it? Do you think he's going to ride off into the fucking sunset? He's killed 300 fucking people and he's just going to , everything's okay?
"He's just going to fall in love with a love interest? If you're this fucking guy, if this guy really existed, how is this guy's day going to end? He's fucked for the rest of his life. It's just a matter of time."
As well as Reeves and Fishburne, John Wick 4 stars Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgard, Lance Reddick, Clancy Brown, Scott Adkins, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ian McShane, Shamier Anderson and Rina Sawayama.
