The first trailer forJohn Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellumis here at long last! DirectorChad Stahelskireturns to take the helm after co-directing the firstJohn Wickand the going solo forJohn Wick: Chapter 2. The third movie in the franchise picks up moments after the end of the first sequel, asKeanu Reeves' titular hitman is now a wanted man by the entire criminal underworld. He teams up with a character we’ve never seen before, played byHalle Berry, and tries to find a way to survive.
I love the change in aesthetic here, asChapter 3looks to take place mostly at night, with lots of moody rain. The action is, unsurprisingly, jaw-droppingly insane (Wick kills a guy with a book, it appears), and we get a climpse of the sure-to-be iconic chase sequence in which Wick rides a horse. But the highlight for me here is Berry, whose character looks to be a delight complete with a pair of attack dog companions.
So yeah,John Wickis back. There’s no indication thatChapter 3will be the end as Stahelski recently said he could be happy makingJohn Wickmovies for the rest of his career, but buckle up anyway. This looks to be a very fun ride.

Here’s the official synopsis forJohn Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum:
John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is on the run for two reasons… he’s being hunted for a global $14 million dollar open contract on his life, and for breaking a central rule: taking a life on Continental Hotel grounds. The victim was a member of the High Table who ordered the open contract. John should have already been executed, except the Continental’s manager, Winston, has given him a one-hour grace period before he’s “Excommunicado” – membership revoked, banned from all services and cut off from other members. John uses the service industry to stay alive as he fights and kills his way out of New York City.
