The sequel to "John Wick" is set to debut on February next year. "Chapter 2" will feature The Continental, the hotel that serves the hit-person community, and an identity crisis for John Wick (Keanu Reeves).
"John Wick: Chapter 2" will debut in February 10, 2017 according to Cheat Sheet. Reeves will reprise his role as John Wick, the retired hitman who will be forced to once again come out of retirement and help a friend in need in the "John Wick" sequel.
One of the highlights of "John Wick" is The Continental, a hotel built for assassins that has underground parties and dead-body cleaning services especially for its exclusive clientele. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Continental will be seen once more in "John Wick: Chapter 2" and Ian McShane will reprise his role as the owner of the hotel, Winston.
It has been reported that hip-hop artist Common (Lonnie Rashyd Lynn, Jr.) will be playing the new big bad in "John Wick: Chapter 2." Common's character is said to be the head of security of a female crime lord.
According to Cinema Blend, John Wick will be forced to come out of retirement to help a friend out of a blood oath that he owes, and that his new mission will bring him from New York to Europe to kill off a group of killers planning to take over the assassin's club.
In an interview with Collider, Keanu explained that his character will have an inner struggle concerning his two identities.
"It's basically — to me there's John Wick and then there's John. You know, John is the married guy whose wife just died, and that five years of his life. Then there's John Wick, who's the mythical assassin. In this, John Wick's past comes and infiltrates John's life and John Wick, in a way, has to fight for John," Keanu explains.
"John Wick: Chapter 2" debuts on February 10, 2017.
