Like most of the successful action films in 2014, "John Wick 2", will leave the audience with yet another jaw-dropping ride to excitement and anticipation. Additionally, viewers are to expect more action-packed scenes and fall for the lead character despite his notorious reputation. Filmmakers David Leitch and Chad Stahelski are currently designing the film into something more exciting, fun and unexpected. Furthermore, they added that Keanu Reeves' character, John Wick, will remain as compelling as he was in the first movie.

When asked about John Wick 2 during an interview, Keanu Reeves said that the Continental Hotel will play a great part in the production. As seen during the first movie, the hotel was an underground center for assassins to stay in while doing "criminal and top secret" jobs. Reeves added that the Continental Hotel will be explored and expanded during the second movie. Furthermore, he recommended that a deeper story and intensified dramatic scenes will uncover The Continental into a whole new level.

THE STORY LINE

Reeves' character in the movie, John Wick, is a retired assassin who is capable of killing numerous individuals with the mere use of a pencil. He owns a Ford Mustang and takes care of a cute dog that he and his late wife cared for before the latter died of cancer. During "John Wick", a Russian mob stole his car, killed his dog and beat him good. Starving for revenge, he tracked down the people responsible for the death of his dog. In doing so, Wick triggered a war between him and the Russian criminal empire. Despite absence of details on the second movie's story line, the directors assure that it will be as exciting as the first one.

There are no timeline set yet for the release of "John Wick 2" but directors Leitch and Tahelski are hoping to start filming soon. Will the upcoming sequel finally reveal the mysteries of Continental Hotel? Stay in tune for more updates!
