“John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is on the run for two reasons… he’s being hunted for a global $14 million dollar open contract on his life, and for breaking a central rule: taking a life on Continental Hotel grounds. The victim was a member of the High Table who ordered the open contract. John should have already been executed, except the Continental’s manager, Winston, has given him a one-hour grace period before he’s 'Excommunicado' – membership revoked, banned from all services and cut off from other members. John uses the service industry to stay alive as he fights and kills his way out of New York City.”

That, my dear folks, is the synopsis which mainly describes the end of Chapter 2 as reported by Collider. It gives a backgrounder to what we shall expect to be an even deadlier Chapter 3 where every assassin in the world will be out gunning for his head. I could still vividly imagine all the phones ringing at the end of the Chapter 2 and John Wick started running to get away from his surroundings that can have an assassin or two lurking to take potshots at him.

The synopsis of the movie was done at the CinemaCon in Las Vegas, which ended yesterday. The initial details of the neo-noir action thriller film reveal that the co-director of the original John Wick, Chad Stahelski, will be back to direct Chapter 3 (the other co-director, David Leitch, was credited as producer in the first film).  Also a posted for the film was also revealed as shown below:

Chapter 3 will be mainly set in New York City though there are some conflicting details. The synopsis says that John Wick will have to fight his way out of New York City, though Stahelksi says that it will end in New York City… or it will lead to a Chapter 4 which will be how John Wick will get out of the city alive?

The questions that will surely be in the minds of fans of the John Wick film series is how John Wick will carry on his personal war when he is an excommunicado. Will he be able to tap resources equal to those that he was able to access in the Continental network? How will he use the Marker that Winston (Ian Macshane) gave to him before he let him out of the Continental to give him a headstart? Who will be his allies in Chapter 3? Will the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) still give him support?

Just as the John Wick: Chapter 3 poster reveals, it will be released on the 17th of May 2019.
