Ahead of the March release of Lionsgate‘s John Wick: Chapter 4, Total Film is sharing new artwork for the highly-anticipated sequel. The art arrives via covers for the outlet’s next magazine and features new characters from the fourth installment in the franchise led by Keanu Reeves. For the first cover (shown below), Ian McShane, Rina Sawayama, Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, and Laurence Fishburne surround Reeves’ boogeyman. The characters drip with swag in front of the Eiffel Tower, a look of dead seriousness on their scowly faces. The second cover shows Reeves looking down on Yen and Skarsgård, a crimson cloak colors the background in blood red.
Production for John Wick: Chapter 4 wrapped up this October with Keanu Reeves again playing the legendary assassin. Joining Reeves are Donnie Yen, Shamier Anderson, Bill Skarsgård, Hiroyuki Sanada, Scott Adkins, Clancy Brown, and Rina Sawayama. The film will also see the return of a few franchise veterans,...

Any news about the John Wick universe is worthy news, I say. The prequel series The Continental will make the move from Starz and will premiere exclusively on Peacock next year. Peacock recently acquired the rights for the John Wick films so in an effort to have some consistancy, and obviously take advantage of having that devoted fan base already tuning in to your platform, the move was made. The three part series will go back to 1975 and a young Winston Scott's attempt to sieze the hotel that is home to the world’s most dangerous criminals. It will be an origin story of what is now a refuge for assassins in the John Wick movies. Peacock And Lionsgate Strike Deal For ...

John Wick prequel series The Continental is on the move. The series is moving from Starz to NBCU streamer Peacock.
The unusual move comes more than four years after the project was first unveiled by the premium cable network. Sources have told Deadline that the three-part action event series is more of a natural fit for Peacock, which recently acquired the rights to the John Wick movies, and comes as Starz has repositioned its brand over the last few years to focus more on female skewing series such as Outlander and series that fit specific demographics such as the Power franchise.
It is not part of a wholesale move to move projects elsewhere ahead of Lionsgate’s pending deal to sell the cable network, as an announcement could come next month. Starz is not expected to have a second window.
The Continental will now launch on Peacock in 2023.
