With just two films, the saga of John Wick – aka Baba Yaga, aka the Boogeyman – has become one of Hollywood’s most exciting action franchises, giving Keanu Reeves the only excuse he needed to let loose against all kinds of Russian baddies and trained assassins. And with the set-up for John Wick: Chapter 3 teasing the titular badass going up against every assassin in the entire world (really), the next instalment is one to be very, very excited about. And that’s before you factor in this photo of Wick riding a massive black horse through the streets of New York while pursued by foes on motorbikes.
In an exclusive new image, as seen in the upcoming issue of Empire, Wick seems to be making an unconventional getaway having been left with an open hit on his head.
According to director Chad Stahelski, this time the maelstrom around Wick will include “horses, dogs, cats, a raven, a bunch of pigeons, a motorcycle chase, car chase, Halle Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, shotguns and ninjas”. And if that doesn’t sound like the greatest thing in the world to you, there’s nothing more that can be done.
