Feb. 16 (UPI) -- The new trailer for John Wick: Chapter 4 shows Keanu Reeves as the franchise's main character, who is pursued and harassed by everyone. The highly stylized video, set to a revved-up version of Nas' "Have Your Guns," shows Wick creating and avoiding global chaos.
Lionsgate has dubbed the film "Wick Week" and is offering hints and tips about the film ahead of Thursday's trailer release. Chad Stahelski returns to the director's chair and this trailer is an update of the trailer released last November.
First, we see Laurence Fishburne's Bowery King character holding up a jacket to the anti-hero and asking, "42 is normal, right?" Then, after more global shots, the trailer cuts to Ian McShane's character, "And so it began."
It then cuts to a violent global street scene where Wick must outwit and overcome his adversary, the High Table. While his weapons and those who want to kill him are impressive, there is a dog near the Arc de Triomphe in Paris that gives Wick timely help at the end of the trailer.
Stahelski, a stuntman turned director who worked with Reeves and the Wachowski brothers on The Matrix , said Wick inspired the style and feel of the films.
Asked how her filmmaker sister influenced her work, Stahelski told Wired, "Paying attention to detail, creating worlds and using ideas as hooks for your entertainment. That's also in John Wick 4 — the idea of freedom, the idea of making choices with rules and consequences. How did you try to get out? John Wick has as much good as bad. They're bad people. But they're also very moral and ethical. Well, not even ethical, but there's a code. You support John Wick."
John Wick: Chapter 4 is released on March 24.
