New trailer for ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ officially released

Lionsgate has released a brand new trailer for "John Wick: Chapter 2." The film will see Keanu Reeves reprise his role as the titular John Wick. This time around he has to step out of retirement once again in order to aid a former associate planning to take control over an international assassin's guild.

The trailer continues the pace from the first film, showcasing John Wick in rapid-pace action scenes. According to Collider, the film will see Wick return to the Continental Hotel but this time around there's a contract out on Wick's head. When confronted with this face he replies "I'll kill them. I'll kill them all."

Rome is also shown in the trailer as it will be the main setting for the film. The movie starts off almost immediately after the ending of the first film which is why a portion of the sequel will still take place in the United States and around the Continental Hotel. Wick is also seen with his new dog.

Ian McShane and John Leguizamo will be reprising their roles from the first film. Newcomers for the sequel include Laurence Fishbourne, Common, Ruby Rose, Lance Reddick, Bridget Moynahan and Peter Stormare. Common can be said prominently in the trailer, involved in several of the key action scenes.

According to Polygon, Fishbourne encountered Reeves during a party back in 2014 and explained he was interested in participating in a sequel. Director Chad Stahelski agreed and was able to write in a part for the actor, reuniting Fishbourne and Reeves who previously starred together in the "Matrix" trilogy.

It is further noted that this is the second full-length trailer for "John Wick: Chapter 2." A previous trailer was launched earlier this year during the New York Comic-Con. At the time it was also explained that the assassins Wick encounters in the sequel are not the main target and in his search he'll come across Fishbourne's character, the Bowler King.

"John Wick: Chapter 2" is scheduled to release on Feb. 10, 2017.
