Lionsgate has released the first John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum clip. The upcoming movie has John Wick (Keanu Reeves) on the run after he’s declared excommunicado by the criminal underworld after killing a member of the High Table at the climax of John Wick: Chapter 2. Wick must rely on his wits, a few close friends, and his ability to kill everyone he meets in order to survive.

In this clip, Wick and his dog enter a taxi only to get stuck in traffic. Wick, realizing that time is of the essence, pays the driver to take the dog to the Continental where it will be safe. After all, it’s not like the dog broke the sanctuary rules. The dog is cool. Still, it’s surprisingly heart wrenching to see Wick say goodbye to his dog even if nothing bad happens to the dog (at least not in this clip).

Check out the John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum clip below. The film opens May 17th and also stars Halle Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Mark Dacascos, Asia Kate Dillon, Lance Reddick, Saïd Taghmaoui, Jerome Flynn, Jason Mantzoukas, Tobias Segal, Boban Marjanovic, with Anjelica Huston, and Ian McShane.

Here’s the official synopsis for John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum:

In this third installment of the adrenaline-fueled action franchise, super-assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) returns with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin’s guild, the High Table, John Wick is excommunicado, but the world’s most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn.
