People have been asking John Wick if he is coming back. Good news to all those who have been waiting for the retired assassin to return, Wick is indeed officially coming back in 2017. The John Wick: Chapter 2 production released the official synopsis for the sequel on April 1.

No, it is not an April Fool's Day joke and, no, John Wick will not be losing another puppy that will lead him to seek revenge. Keanu Reeves is back as the titular character but he will be facing a new group of antagonists because of a blood oath he is bound to.

"[John Wick is] forced to back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins' guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world's deadliest killers," the synopsis details.

As for Reeves, he already revealed — prior to the filming in 2015 — that he has been training really hard to make the action sequences even better.

"I started training a couple of months ago [...] going to other levels of what the gun-Fu was, which was Jujitsu and Judo mixed with weapons and different styles of weapon training [...] I've been learning some other tools and different styles of that, and trying to develop some more techniques in terms of Judo and Jujitsu and bring those elements into the work," he said.

As a matter of fact, footage of Reeves working on his tactical shooting skills showed up on YouTube on March 3. Watch the video below.

There you go. The legendary hitman who finished an impossible task in order to earn his retirement in 2014's John Wick and wiped out pretty much everyone who was in his way when he sought vengeance is back. Reeves promises that the sequel will be even more action packed than the first film.
