John Wick had the je ne sais quoi a film with 10 times its budget dreams of. The action, a seamless mix of kung-fu and point-blank gun violence, feels original, even if it’s borrowing from Reeves’ greatest hits. The dialogue is plodding and the plot is so obviously telegraphed that the characters barely need to speak, but there’s a dreamlike quality to the New York underworld Wick navigates, down to the mysterious gold coins used as currency in the hotel of assassins he books himself into. The film's appeal is in the surprise of how fun it is. The movie came out on home media and video-on-demand in February and unsurprisingly topped those charts, indicating strong word-of-mouth among action-movie fans who've recently been starved of the kind of fluid, beautifully shot set pieces John Wick boasts by the dozen.

However, Collider is hearing that Watanabe is actually the name of a character in the upcoming sequel, rather than another potential new addition to the cast. It's much deeper in terms of the code of the assassin and the relationship that he has with one character in particular who I think Mr. As much as it's the same world as the other three films, it's just deeper.
So what was Fishburne allowed to reveal in terms of what fans can expect from the upcoming movie? Obviously, Fishburne couldn't say much about any plot details, but he has had a chance to read the script for John Wick 4, which as Collider previously revealed, will be written by Michael Finch instead of series creator Derek Kolstad.
