Ian McShane Tells Us John Wick Gets A New Dog In The Sequel

Ian McShane Tells Us John Wick Gets A New Dog In The Sequel

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, actor Ian McShane (Deadwood) talked about the upcoming sequel to the surprise hit John Wick. In the first film, the actor played Winston, the enigmatic owner of the Continental Hotel, a safe haven for assassins.

Talking about the set up for the new film:

Well, I'm kind of the only one left from the first one. This is same kind of premise. It's not like two years later, but pretty soon after the first one. Keanu [Reeves] is a great guy. They got this terrific Italian kid, Riccardo Scamarcio, who plays the chief villain, who's excellent, and we have a lot of stuff together. And the guy who directs it, Chad Stahelski, is really smart. He's been Keanu's stunt guy for [nearly] 20 years and he's studied muay-thai. He's got every stunt man who's available for [this film]. The action looks like it was done by somebody out of Hong Kong instead of Hollywood which I always think is a great sight.

As to what the second film will be about:

Keanu gets a new dog. But yes, it's about what comes on him after that. It's all about the assassin's code, if you like. He's killed a Russian gangster and now there's a contract out on him, so it's a continuation. I loved the first one. This could be even better than the first.

Aw man… they're not going to kill another puppy are they?

McShane will also be appearing in the Starz adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods where he will play Wednesday.
