EW has posted a few more details on John Wick: Chapter 2 that they garnered from talking with director Chad Stahelski. r. Stahelski’s thoughts on working with Laurence Fishburne and the action in the film are below.
“I loved working with him,” Stahelski says. “So we made a call and he was more than gracious and more than willing to come help.” So can he tell us a little about the part Fishburne is playing? “Laurence’s character, we just call him ‘The Bowery King,’” the spoiler-averse filmmaker teases.
“I would say we had twice as much action as the first movie,” he says about the shoot. “We took it all a full notch up as far as the driving car stuff went. A great portion of the car chase in the opening of the film is Keanu, which is very impressive.”
