The premiere of the fourth part of “John Wick” took place. The film was directed by Chad Stahelski. Recently it became known that in the picture almost no stuntmen were used. Keanu Reeves, 58, did 90% of his own stunts in the action movie.

The actor was preparing for the shooting of the fourth part of 12 weeks. During this time, Keanu developed extreme driving skills and rehearsed combat scenes with hand-to-hand fights and shooting. Only in rare cases, Reeves was replaced by stuntmen. An understudy replaced Keanu in the scene with a dangerous jump from the window of the building, as well as in the episode where John Wick rolls down the stairs.

Saga director Chad Stahelski wants the Oscars to be given not only to actors, directors and producers, but also to stuntmen. According to Chad, the organizers of the award unfairly deprive those who in the cinema art often sacrifice their health and even life for the sake of beautiful action scenes.

Earlier, Keanu Reeves answered questions from Reddit users. He told what items from the set of “The Matrix” and “John Wick” he took home, and admitted that he dreamed of acting with David Fincher. Reeves said he took a watch and wedding ring from the set of John Wick and a sword from 47 Ronin. In addition, the directors gave him a red pill from The Matrix. Reeves was asked if there was ever a role in his career that he turned down and regretted it. This, according to the actor, he did not have, but he “always wanted to play Wolverine.” We are talking about another iconic character played by Reeves – John Constantine. The actor said he spoke with new DC Films co-director James Gunn about “Constantine 2” and expressed hope for a sequel.
