“We made the movie like it was the last one,” says Keanu Reeves of John Wick 4

Actor Keanu Reeves is in Brazil to participate in the Comic Con Experience (CCXP22), which takes place in São Paulo this weekend. During the panel on “John Wick 4: Baba Yaga”, the actor said that the production made the new film in the franchise as if it were the last.

“The film is very crazy”, said the actor also known for the “Matrix” franchise. “The goal is to watch on a big screen. There’s a lot of action, a lot of John Wick action, [além de] new characters and more elements of this world, with many surprises”.

With filming in Paris, Berlin, Japan and New York, Keanu Reeves said that the aim of the film is, in fact, to be seen on a gigantic cinema screen. When asked if this is the best film in the saga, Reeves said it’s different, but with a lot of ambition and action.

For the fourth feature, the actor had to prepare himself with a lot of study of direction and use of nunchakus. Behind the wheel, Keanu Reeves had to train to perform a scene in chaotic traffic and circle around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

“It’s a fight scene right in the middle of the cars,” he says. In the exclusive footage shown during the CCXP panel, it was possible to see the actor driving a car with no doors while shooting at his pursuers.

When asked about the possibility of a John Wick 5, Keanu Reeves said it depends on the public’s response. “We didn’t have a lot of plans, we had a script – and it was a good script. Because of the public response, we made the second film. And, because of the public response, we did the third one. So if we’re going to do a fifth film, it depends on how the fourth film responds. So I hope you like it.”

“John Wick 4: Baba Yaga,” starring Keanu Reeves, hits theaters on March 23, 2023.
