A new addition to his ever-growing cast of actors John Wick universe made a bold call, with a musician turned actor Rina Sawayama calling the upcoming fourth chapter of the action series the best of the lot. In a recent chat with NME he said:
“It’s definitely, 100 percent the best John Wick it’s ever happened, and I’m not biased, like honestly, this time the scales are crazy.”
Admittedly, it might be hard to assume there’s no bias from the pop star’s Hollywood debut, especially considering expectations for John Wick: Chapter 4 it is high. The first three films Rotten tomatoes The average rating is 88 percent and 84 percent from critics and audiences respectively. So, as big a call as it is, we sure hope it ends up being true.
Not much is known about Sawayama’s role in the highly anticipated sequel, only that she has been cast as a new character named Akira.
What we do know is that its conclusion John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum saw everyone’s favorite retired executioner a little worse for wear, what with being thrown from the roof of The Continental Hotel.
In the new film, we expect Wick to exact revenge on those who have wronged him and all who stand in his way – in what is confirmed to be the series’ biggest film yet.
We’ll find out if Mr. Wick will face or team up with Sawayama’s Akira when John Wick: Chapter 4 hits theaters on March 24, 2023. In the meantime, fans can outdo themselves by envisioning John Wick as a Pixar movie, as this AI art generator did.
