On February 28, "@电影快追杀4" released a Weibo post announcing that the film will be released in mainland China on March 14. This official Weibo post was also recently launched after completing real-name authentication. This is the first time that the series of films has been released in mainland China. The film has been released in the United States and other countries in 2023, and the global cumulative box office has reached 440 million US dollars.
The story of "John Wick 4" continues from the previous episode. It tells the story of John Wick (Keanu Reeves), who survived a gunshot and fell from a building at the Continental Hotel in New York. He traveled across the ocean to the Continental Hotel in Osaka, Japan, to seek help from the manager and old friend Shimazu Koji (Hiroyuki Sanada). On the other hand, the new leader of the High Table, Marquis Vincent de Gramont (Bill Skarsgard), is determined to root out the problem. He first deals with Winston (Ian McShane), the manager of the Continental Hotel in New York, and then forces Cain (Donnie Yen), Wick's former comrade-in-arms, to work for him, vowing to isolate Wick.

Since the release of John Wick in 2014, the main selling point of the series has been how John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves, fights and kills along the way. As the film has extremely high requirements for fighting scenes, Keanu Reeves worked very closely with stuntmen.
In 2021, when Keanu Reeves, then 57, was filming "John Wick 4" in Paris, it was reported that he was particularly satisfied with the stunt team serving him. After the filming was completed, he gave each of the four martial arts stunt actors a Rolex Submariner "Black Water Ghost" watch worth 7,300 pounds (about 64,000 yuan).
The stuntmen showed off their performances on social media.
In fact, as early as when Keanu Reeves was filming "The Matrix" series, it was reported that he gave each member of the stunt team a Harley heavy motorcycle and was willing to give up part of his salary so that the special effects production staff of the film could get higher pay.
