John Wick: If the movie is called that, it’s because of Keanu Reeves

The action saga of John Wick, which is one of the most popular today, offered Keanu Reeves one of the best roles.

Despite once again lending his features to the ruthless killer alias Baba Yaga in John Wick: Chapter 4 (released last March) and the fifth opus already announced, the famous actor was the face of the franchise created by David Leitch and Chad Stahelski. for almost 10 years. But not only!

As saga screenwriter Derek Kolstad recently revealed on the microphone ComicBooks.com, we also attribute the saga title to Keanu Reeves. Indeed, originally, it should have been called the latter contempt (French for “disgust”), referring to the resentment the main character felt towards the men who killed his dog.

However, as Kolstad said, Keanu Reeves apparently had trouble remembering the film’s title and kept repeating his character’s name, John Wick, until the filmmakers finally decided to follow suit and officially name their feature. A movie after their hero.

“The only reason why It’s called John Wick because Keanu called it John Wick.– says the screenwriter.

“The marketing guys were like, ‘Man, that’s $4 or $5 million worth of free advertising so far, so it’s going to be John Wick instead of Skorn.’

The final installment of the saga, which was released two months ago, sees John Wick continue his fight against the criminal organization known as the Big Table. His struggle takes him this time to the heart of the French capital, where he continues to face many enemies.
