John Wick Chapter 3: First Trailer Is Violent, Stylish, And Awesome

The first trailer for the upcoming John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is here. This is the third movie in the acclaimed action series, which stars Keanu Reeves as the retired hitman who is reluctantly brought back into his old life.

The trailer shows that the movie picks up right after the events of Chapter 2. Wick is on the run after killing a rival on the supposedly neutral ground of the Continental Hotel, with every hitman in New York after him. There's tons of cool-looking action, including Wick being chased on horseback through the streets of Manhattan, and an appearance from Sophia, the new character played by Halle Berry. Check it out above.

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum also stars Ian McShane, Lawrence Fishburne, Jason Mantzoukas, Mark Dacascos, and Angelica Huston. It's directed by Chad Stahelski, who helmed Chapter 2 and co-directed the first movie, and releases on May 17.

Even though the movie is still several months away, Stahelski has already spoken about the possibility of John Wick: Chapter 4. He told Entertainment Weekly last month: "If people go see the movie, and it makes money, and they came back to us, Keanu and I have ideas for days. I could live here for the rest of my career. If people like it and want to watch more, I could think of way worse ways to spend your career. But, you know, we're in the entertainment business. We'll let the audience figure that out."

A John Wick TV spin-off named The Continental was also announced by Starz last year, but there has been no further news about the status of this project.
