Exclusive: Keanu Reeves talks John Wick 3: Parabellum!

During an exclusive interview for the upcoming romantic thriller Siberia, star Keanu Reeves spoke to ComingSoon.net about the upcoming John Wick 3: Parabellum, including the meaning of the new subtitle and Wick’s relationship to Halle Berry’s new character Sofia!

ComingSoon.net: You’re currently shooting “John Wick 3,” some of it on my home turf of New York. To clarify, is it called “Chapter 3” or “Parabellum”?

Keanu Reeves: It’s both! “John Wick 3: Parabellum.”

CS: And what does “Parabellum” refer to?

Reeves: Prepare for war. It’s part of that famous sentence, “Si vis pacem, para bellum,” which translates as, “If you want peace, prepare for war.”

CS: I talked to you for the first “John Wick” and I loved it because after they killed that dog you could have atomic bombed whole city blocks and I would have been with you. The second one was enjoyable but the stakes were a little more cerebral, it was more about establishing the world of the Continental. Will the third one have more of an emotional hook to it?

Reeves: I hope so. Each film is very different but in the same kind of world and take. I can’t speak to your subjective experience, but there’s definitely emotion in this piece.

CS: How does Halle’s character enhance Wick, who’s been kind of a lone wolf to this point?

Reeves: Yeah, John Wick is fighting for his life and thinks that Halle Berry’s character has some information for him. They have a past, and they get involved with The High Table, this kind of overlording entity. (laughs)

How do you feel about the new Lord Of The Rings TV show, and have you been asked to be part of it?

I've no idea, I won't be a part of it.

Okay. How do you feel about the new Red Skull in Avengers: Infinity War?

I haven't seen it. I'm not in it.

Keanu Reeves is back with Laurence Fishburne for John Wick 3.

Bastards! Why didn't they invite me?

They didn't ask you to be a part of it?

I haven't heard a word about it. Bastards.

If we ever speak to Keanu, we will have to ask-

Yeah, why am I not in there? (really elongating the word) Keeeaaaannnnuuuuu?

If you had said John Wick in the Agent Smith voice, then we might have had another iconic moment on our hands.

(perfectly adopts the Agent Smith voice) Johhhhn Wiiiiiick.

FISHBURNE:[...] I have a great relationship with Keanu and we’ve been friends since we started doing The Matrix 20 years ago. He’s one of the smartest cats I know. He’s also singular in that he’s not like anybody else, which I think is the quality that makes him so exceptional. It’s why people like watching him. He continues to grow as an actor because he continues to take risks. He’s always taken risks. I saw the first John Wick film and didn’t know what to expect and I was completely blown away by it. I was like, “Dude, what do I have to do to be in this world?” He said, “Well, we’ve actually been thinking about that.”

What was it like entering the John Wick world?

FISHBURNE: it’s so much fun. It’s impossible but it’s the kind of place you really wish you could run around in because everybody’s a badass motherfucker. Who doesn’t want to feel like that?

It’s like being a kid?

FISHBURNE: It’s like playing cops and robbers.

So you were in the second film and now you’re in the first half of the third. Does this mean your Bowery King character gets killed off?

FISHBURNE: Even if I does I couldn’t tell you that, could I?
