Keanu Reeves is set to return to the action genre with his upcoming film John Wick, which will be hitting the big screen at the beginning of April.
The movie will see Reeves take on the title role in what is his first film since 47 Ronin at the end of 2013. And it is Reeves who takes centre stage in the brand new poster for the film. John Wick will see Chad Stahelski make his feature film directorial debut with the film, as he makes the transition from actor and stunt coordinator.
Reeves takes on the role of John Wick in the film, and is joined on the cast list by Alfie Allen, Michael Nyqvist, Willem Dafoe, Adrianne Palicki, and Dean Winters.
When a retired hit man is forced back into action by a brutal Russian mobster, he hunts down his adversaries with the ruthlessness that made him a crime underworld legend in John Wick; a stylish tale of revenge and redemption.
After the sudden death of his beloved wife, John Wick (Reeves) receives one last gift from her, a beagle puppy named Daisy, and a note imploring him not to forget how to love. But John's mourning is interrupted when his 1969 Boss Mustang catches the eye of sadistic thug Iosef Tarasov (Allen) who breaks into his house and steals it, beating John unconscious and leaving Daisy dead.
Unwittingly, they have just reawakened one of the most brutal assassins the underworld has ever seen.John's search for his stolen vehicle takes him to a side of New York City that tourists never see, a hyper-real, super-secret criminal community, where John Wick was once the baddest guy of all.
