'John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum' Trailer Dreams The Impossible Dream
There’s a reason why we’re stoked to be writing about the first trailer for John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum here on a website called Geek.com. And it’s not just because it looks like a completely kickass action movie, like the first two chapters. But rather, the thing that really got dorks super on-board with this franchise was its surprisingly dense amount of lore about its assassin underworld, tastefully hinted at in the first film and expanded on in the sequel. It’s the reason why a John Wick TV show without Keanu Reeves is something that’s even worth considering. It’s why this movie can seriously have a subtitle like “Parabellum.”
But enough talk. John Wick is back, again, and you deserve to see him.
Honestly, this trailer gives us a lot of Matrix sequels vibes. We’re not just saying that because of Keanu Reeves (and Laurence Fishburne) and we don’t mean that in terms of quality. Rather, this movie just seems so directly connected to the end of the last one that they might as well form a kind of John Wick epic, which is not a complaint at all.
After breaking a cardinal rule of this whole weird society of professional killers, John Wick must escape New York and its sizable assassin population looking for that sweet bounty money. Plus being able to say you were the one who killed the legendary John Wick would be a pretty nice flex. John Wick can’t use any of his previous resources like Lance Reddick and Ian McShane’s hotel for murderers with big gold coins. But if this trailer is any indication he’ll still find plenty of ways to kill folks with guns, samurai swords, books, horses, and dogs.
The trailer also seems to hint that despite his rule-breaking, John Wick’s integrity has earned him enough supporters who just want to help him finally achieve a peaceful life, including new allies like Halle Berry and Anjelica Huston. It’s like folks rallying behind Captain America even as SHIELD comes after him. But will it be enough to outwit the host of Iron Chef America and Jason Mantzoukas as TICK TOCK MAN?
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is by far the most exciting cinematic conclusion coming to theaters this year. It releases May 17. For more on John Wick check out our thoughts on the John Wick VR game and use this helpful tool to learn if a dog dies in a movie.
