‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ Poster: Keanu Reeves is Beaten, Bruised, and Gets His Harold Lloyd On
“John Wick: Chapter 2” is shaping up to be one of the most-anticipated sequels of next year. The action-thriller starring Keanu Reeves sees the return of the hitman, forced out of retirement by a former associate who is plotting to take control of an international assassins’ guild.
Ahead of its New York Comic Con panel, Lionsgate shared a new poster which shows Mr. Wick bruised, beaten and surrounded by men holding guns to his head. Even better: The new image seems to be a tribute to Harold Lloyd’s 1918 classic “Two-Gun Gussies,” as noted by Ted Geoghegan.
