Lionsgate offered up a new “John Wick 4” poster during their presentation at this weekend’s CCXP (also known as the Brazil Comic-Con).

The poster is just an extreme close-up of a suited-up Keanu Reeves. The appeal of the series, not discounting the relative quality of its predecessors, is the mere hook of watching Keanu Reeves going full “gun-fu” on a new batch of bad guys, random henchmen and upper-level adversaries.

The appeal of “John Wick: Chapter 4” is quite simply that it’s another “John Wick” movie.Perhaps “John Wick” was initially perceived as a knock-off of Liam Neeson’s “Taken” (not unlike John Travolta’s “From Paris With Love,” Kevin Costner’s “3 Days to Kill” or Sean Penn’s “The Gunman”), with Keanu Reeves playing a retired hitman who leaps back into action after his wife dies and Russian mobsters murder his new puppy.

However, its impact on the action movies that followed is akin to if “Speed” (which was a loose variation on the “Die Hard” formula) caused a sea change in the mid-1990s with a bunch of movies more explicitly replicating not the Bruce Willis “stuck in a building with terrorists” actioner but the Keanu Reeves “the bus that couldn’t slow down” thriller.
