In a scene from the thrilling new trailer, the former assassin Wick is asked, “What do you want?” to which he replies: “Guns. Lots of guns.”
Fans of the Matrix clocked it’s the same line said by Keanu as Neo, and took to forums to heap praise on it.
“What do you need? References, lots of References. Pure brilliance,” said one movie buff. Another commented: “I’m already hyped and then they use a Matrix reference and I’m getting all nostalgic.”
The latest entry in the action-adventure franchise picks up with John Wick being chased by some of the most dangerous colleagues in the world after assassinating a member of the High Table in The Continental.
