Winston battles the underworld in John Wick’s The Continental trailer

Winston Scott aims to seize control of the famous hotel for assassins in the latest trailer for The Continental: From the World of John Wick, the prequel spinoff series from Peacock.

The Continental is set in 1970s New York City and follows a young Winston (Ambulance’s Colin Woodall), who will one day manage The Continental Hotel in the John Wick franchise. The series explores Winston’s origins and how he came to “take the house and everything that comes with it.”

In The Continental, the hotel is run by the villainous Cormac (Father Stu’s Mel Gibson). Winston’s brother, Frankie (Animal Kingdom’s Ben Robson), stole a valuable possession from Cormac, and Winston must find it and bring it back to the hotel or face the “weight of the whole institution.” Winston has no intention of turning in his brother, so he recruits other assassins and prepares for battle against the hotel.

John Wick at 10 and the resurrection of Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves in John Wick.

Ten years ago this month, John Wick hit theaters and gave Keanu Reeves a comeback for the ages. But it's easy to forget that the film wasn't a huge hit out of the gate. An $86 million worldwide take at the box office is hardly memorable, even when considering the film's modest $20 million to $30 million budget. It took time for action fans to latch on to John Wick when it had its post-theatrical release on home media. But once they did, John Wick became the start of a franchise that is still going a decade later.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of John Wick, we're looking back at the film itself and how it brought Reeves' career back to life after a long downward spiral following his stint in The Matrix and its sequels.

The John Wick universe will expand in 2025 with From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. Directed by Len Wiseman, Ballerina stars Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, the titular ballerina who trains to be an assassin with the Ruska Roma criminal syndicate.

The film was originally scheduled to be released in June, but Lionsgate delayed the film a full year to 2025. The studio ordered reshoots and hired John Wick director Chad Stahelski to work on new action sequences with Wiseman. Reshoots are fairly normal for blockbusters. What started as reshooting a few scenes, however, has turned Ballerina into an entirely different movie.
