John Wick: Chapter 2 hits UK cinemas this week following a successful US release on February 10. We had a chat with Keanu Reeves who plays the titular ex-hitman to talk about the potential for John Wick 3. Reeves shared his hopes for a second sequel  where the action might lead, what the story might explore and why the dog still hasnt got a name Oh, and we also asked him about why John Wick crops up in Payday 2.Think its about time to issue a SPOILER WARNING.It seems that from the very start, there were plans  or at least hopes  to expand John Wick into a franchise. The end of Chapter 2 sets up Chapter 3 to pick up immediately where it leaves off. But is that how things will go down? Reeves says, From John Wick, the first film, to Chapter 2, we all got together and thought about what could happen, and that would be what would happen in 3. Im with you  I want to know what happens. Chapter 2 takes place five days after the first one, I think we open up right away and  we just cut right into it.Chapter 2 expands the geography of John Wick, taking the action to Rome. But what international locations could we see Wick head to in the next film? I want to go to Jerusalem in 3, says Reeves. I think he has to keep going more and more into that ancient world to see the ties. We introduced this idea of the High Table, which is this kind of table or meeting place of all the criminal tribes. You know  the hierarchy. And I think John Wick is starting to  hes getting a little anti-establishment. So Id like to see that world.In the film, John Wick comes up against fellow hitman Cassian played by Common. He ends up in a bit of a predicament  which leaves us asking whether Common might be back in another instalment.I think so, says Keanu. I mean, I hope so. I mean, he only has a knife in his aorta. Hes in a bit of a pickle, isnt he? But hes a professional. Hell work it out.And what about the dog that we saw John Wick rescue at the end of the first film? Fans of the dog will be pleased to hear this one makes it through the movie alive  unlike puppy Daisy that sparked Wicks revenge attack in the original film. So will the dog be back for Chapter 3, and crucially, will it get a name? Perhaps. Find out what Keanu Reeves says about the cuddly pit bull in the video above. John Wick: Chapter 2 is out now in the US and opens in the UK on February 17.

Dont mess with John Wicks dog. And dont mess with his car. The former assassin loves both, and the first film finds Wick having to cut his retirement short when said canine is killed and his beloved 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is stolen.John embarks on a mission to eliminate everyone involved with the robbery, and pretty much succeeds. Though he doesnt manage to retrieve the car. That moment is saved for the start of John Wick: Chapter 2, with the man they call Baba Yega tracking the Mustang down to a chop shop.John takes the Ford back, and uses it to take out many more people via a form of action thats come to be known as car fu, and basically involves John utilising his superlative driving skills to treat the car like a weapon.Thats no stuntman doing the driving either, with star Keanu Reeves doing weeks of intense training to bring those amazing action sequences to life onscreen.And what a machine hes driving. The Mach 1 was first introduced in 1968, and has been considered a classic muscle car ever since. And thats not just on the streets, with the Ford also featuring in 1970s action features like Diamonds are Forever and Gone in 60 Seconds.But the John Wick flicks have helped the car become a legend. And thanks to Forza Motorsport 7, now available on Xbox One, you too can drive an iteration, with the 69 Mustang Boss being playable now you can maybe replicate some of Keanus insane stunt work.

SPOILER WARNING! DO NOT read this article if you havent seen Split! M. Night Shyamalan has been talking about the surprise at the end of his new film Split, where David Dunn  Bruce Williss Unbreakable character  is revealed. And it turns out that James McAvoys Split character was actually supposed to appear in that film! Speaking in the above video, Shyamalan explains: This character was from Unbreakable, but I pulled him out of the script. I had a difficult time trying to get the balance right between the three characters  Elijah, David Dunn and him. In the original Unbreakable, he was the antagonist, and they were going to meet. And I couldnt get it right. This is so provocative that he was pulling from this movie that I wanted to make  a very quiet, origin story. Then I got this idea to do a movie as a psychological thriller, then at the end, you realise you were watching an origin story, and everything goes click. Shyamalan goes onto reveal that he struggled with the Willis reveal before settling on the diner scene, and also explains where he is at with the Split/Unbreakable sequel. Which we reckon he should call Unsplittable. Split is currently in cinemas.
