Lionsgate Delays John Wick 4 By Nearly A Year To 2023

After flying under the radar for most of the late 2000s and early 2010s, Keanu Reeves, who is perhaps best known for starring in The Matrix trilogy movies, went through a bit of a career renaissance when he starred in Chad Stahelski's sleeper hit, John Wick, back in 2014. The movie, which was heavy on movement, tight action sequences, as well as an emotional storyline with an interesting world, went on to spawn an entire franchise - and arguably influence action movies going forward.

Since then, John Wick has starred in two sequels in 2017's John Wick: Chapter 2 and 2019's John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum.
