Wick jeans 4 just dropped its first official trailer and people are going crazy (as many of them literally did in the trailer itself). The Baba Yaga was pissed at the end of Parabellum and now he comes for bloody revenge! So far, each chapter of this franchise has managed to add a bunch of new faces when it comes to antagonists and other Mr. Wick related people. Chapter 3 practically took us to his roots and we even saw his former ally, Sofia. And now we have confirmation from the director that John Wick’s “Stepsister” is in the film.
What’s new in John Wick 4?
As we approach the penultimate outing in the mainline John Wick franchise, we can be sure Wick’s kill count in this movie will be even higher than before. His reported death toll so far is 306 to be exact. [John Wick (84), John Wick Chapter 2 (128), John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum (94)]. But it’s likely that it would even surpass Chapter 2 because that would be a much longer movie.

In an interview with Collider editor Steven Weintraub, Wick jeans 4 (and franchise) director Chad Stahelski said this outing will have “at least a third more scenes than the last”, and we will visit some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world. You can read the whole interview here, but what’s interesting is that Stahelski also revealed an exciting new addition regarding Wick’s story.

John Wick’s “half-sister” is coming!
Steven Weintraub asked about a particular character in the trailer and Stahelski replied that it was actually John Wick’s sister. Here’s how the conversation went:
Steven Weintraub: I’m going to ask you a few questions about the trailer. Is that John Wick’s mother in the trailer?
STAHELSKI: John Wick’s mother. Who is John Wick’s mother?
Steven Weintraub: There’s a woman by the box who’s on fire with the glowing thing, and that’s because Winston said something about your family.
STAHELSKI: Oh no, Natalie [Tena]. No.
Steven Weintraub: I mean, by the way, I just take hits.
STAHELSKI: I would say in the family area, like a half-sister. I wouldn’t call her a half-sister but in the area of that, yeah. It’s his old family, yes.
So, as confirmed by Stahelski, Natalia Tena plays the role of Katia, who is more like a “half-sister” of John Wick. It would be safe to assume that she also got out of the Ballerina training program and became an assassin, because literally everyone in this franchise turns out to be a killer assassin after all.
