Thanks to some backpacks from merchandising, we could have what looks like the full title of John Wick 4, which we remember being scheduled for May next year, and according to what we see from the photo, it will be entitled John Wick 4 Hagakure.
Among the various films whose productions have been slowed down or interrupted by the Coronavirus health emergency we also find the fourth chapter of the series starring Keanu Reeves.
It was originally supposed to hit theaters in May 2021, but the actor’s commitments on Matrix Resurrection (which we remember arriving in local cinemas at the beginning of next January) have contributed to further slowing down the making of the action film.
While the filming was completed a couple of weeks ago, we now have what the full title could be, that is John Wick 4: Hagakure. This choice seems to retrace what happened with the previous chapter, which had as its subtitle Parabellum.

While the aforementioned Parabellum was of Latin derivation, Hagakure is a term that has its roots in the Japanese texts of the way of the samurai, by Yamamato Tsunetomo. This choice makes sense, since the cast includes the martial arts master and actor Donnie Yen, which we have already seen in Iron Monkey, Ip Man and in mainstream cinema in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
In a previous interview with Collider, Yen himself expressed his appreciation for the director Chad Stahelski and lead actor Reeves, specifying how this is the best setting, speaking of sets, in which he has ever worked compared to his other Hollywood films.
In addition to Reeves and Yen, the cast will see Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Bill Skarsgard, Scott Adkins and Clancy Brown, as well as pop star Rina Sawayama in her big screen debut. Lance Reddick, Laurence Fishburne and Ian McShane will reprise their returning roles from previous films in the saga of John Wick.
