Fresh from Empire revealing the lead villain in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum – Mark Dacascos’ Wick-fanboy assassin Zero – the film’s new trailer has arrived. Surprise surprise, it’s still looking like an absolute blast, capitalising on the literal killer set-up of the Chapter Two climax: John Wick is 'excommunicado' from the Continental, has a $14 million bounty on his head, a world of assassins hunting him down, and only one hour’s grace period to get a head start. What does he need? Guns… lots of guns.
You want gun-fu? You’ve got it. You want Halle Berry’s attack dogs crunching henchmen’s nuts? They’re here. Want Wick whipping knives into his enemies with devastating nonchalance? Hoo boy, you’ve come to the right place. All that, plus Keanu Reeves driving a motorbike while fighting people off with a samurai sword, Anjelica Huston talking about puppies, and a classical music score to tip you in that this is, indeed, high art.
Catch Reeves’ latest slice of poetic cinema when John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum rampages into UK cinemas on 17 May. Beyond that, in other excellent news the actor is officially re-teaming with Alex Winter for long-awaited three-quel Bill & Ted Face The Music – read more on that here.
