In all seriousness, we could use more action movies about sharp-dressed assassins with great hair who love dogs.

John Wick: Chapter Two will be released on February 10, 2017. While Leitch was originally set to return and co-direct John Wick 2, he became busy with his own directorial project The Coldest City starring Charlize Theron and simply serves as an executive producer on the John Wick sequel. News of a sequel was imminent and we have our first look at the poster for John Wick: Chapter 2.
John Wick: Chapter 2 sees Reeves hitman come out of retirement again amid a plot to wrest control of a shadowy global assassins guild. When John Wick is forced out of retirement because of a former associate, Wick travels to Rome and encounters some of the world’s most vicious and unsafe killers. A great portion of the auto chase in the opening of the film is Keanu, which is very impressive.
Joining Reeves for the second round are returning stars Lance Reddick, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo and Bridget Moynahan, along with new cast members Laurence Fishburne (Matrix reunion!), Ruby Rose, Common, Peter Stormare and Thomas Sadoski.
Released in 2014, John Wick was one of the best action films of the year and because of its critical and commercial success, the film is getting a sequel.
