John Wick: Chapter 4 goes on floors

John Wick: Chapter 4, the fourth instalment of the popular Keanu Reeves-starring action franchise began production yesterday.

Lionsgate's official Twitter handle announced the news, writing “Anybody got a pencil sharpener? ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ is now in production,”

Chad Stahelski is returning to direct the sequel, which has also added Donnie Yen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Shamier Anderson (Stowaway), Hiroyuki Sanada (Mortal Kombat, Army of the Dead) and Japanese-British popstar Rina Sawayama. It was recently revealed that Bill Skarsgård is also in talks for a role.

The third film in the franchise, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum released in 2019, and the fourth chapter was initially scheduled to release this month but was pushed to May 22, 2022 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
