Keanu Reeves is of course coming back for John Wick: Chapter 4, with the cast thus far also including singer Rina Sawayama, Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Bill Skarsgård (It, It: Chapter Two, “Castle Rock”), and Shamier Anderson (Stowaway). Today, Deadline reports that Hiroyuki Sanada (Mortal Kombat) has also signed on to star.
Sanada has been cast in an “undisclosed role.” Not only did he play Scorpion in this year’s Mortal Kombat, but Sanada was also recently seen in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead.
Lionsgate is currently set to release Chapter 4 on May 27, 2022.
The John Wick franchise has been incredibly successful and profitable for Lionsgate, with Chapter 3 pulling in $326 million worldwide back in 2019 – to date, a franchise best.
Chapter 4 will presumably pick up right after the events of Parabellum, with a bruised, broken (but still alive) John Wick taking the fight to the deadliest organization in the world.
Chad Stahelski (John Wick 1-3) is returning to direct.
