‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ Super Bowl Spot Tries To Trick ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Fans
While the Super Bowl may be mostly geared toward a male audience, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of women watching the big game today. Some might even be expecting a special glimpse atFifty Shades Darkersince the erotic, romantic thriller sequel arrives this week. And Lionsgate took full advantage of that with their latest tease for something that’s much different.
John Wick: Chapter 2debuted a Super Bowl spot during the pre-game coverage today, and it starts off with a tease that feels like it could be introducing aFifty Shades Darkerspot. But then it quickly takes a turn with plenty of gunfire and some hard-hitting action, making it look likeJohn Wickis taking just as much of a beating (albeit a completely different kind) as Dakota Johnson did from Christian Grey.

Even though the embargo on reviews hasn’t been lifted yet, don’t let that worry you. The buzz from those who have seen the sequel is more than good. In fact, there are some who have told me that they think the sequel is actually better than the first movie. That sounds like a tall order, but I’m certainly not going to be disappointed if the original John Wick gets shown up by his second outing.
This Super Bowl spot showsKeanu Reevesis in for a rough night, dodging plenty of bullets, but not faring so well in avoiding car collisions. The action seems like it will be amped up considerably, and since it was already top notch in the first movie, that’s pretty impressive.
John Wick: Chapter 2is bringing back some familiar faces from the original movie, includingJohn Leguizamo, Lance ReddickandIan McShane. But there are also new faces on the scene as well, such asLaurence Fishburne,Ruby Rose, Riccardo Scamarcio, Peter SerafinowiczandCommon.Chad StahelskidirectsJohn Wick: Chapter 2and it arrives in theaters this week onFebruary 10.
