The Keanu Reeves franchise that isn't 'The Matrix' or 'Bill and Ted' is also back on cinema screens in 2019, with an arrival date of May 17th. This is the third of the 'John Wick' movies, with a title of "Parabellum" (although recent reports suggest the name may have changed to simply "John Wick: Chapter 3").
This time around, Wick is on the run, faced with the uphill task of fighting his way out of New York when seemingly the entire city wants him dead; none more so than Hale Berry, who joins the cast as an assassin who's out for Wick's blood. Laurence Fishburne is also in a supporting role, although whether he has any useful red or blue pills for Wick to choose from remains to be seen. Expect a thrilling action ride with some great fight scenes, a lot of blood spilled, and classy noir-style cinematography.
