Lionsgate just unveiled the first footage from John Wick: Chapter Two at CinemaCon, and unsurprisingly it got a positive reaction. For those who don’t know, CinemaCon is where studios go to promote their upcoming films to theaters, and journalists are usually on hand to provide their two cents about the presentations. For John Wick: Chapter Two, I think it’s a pretty easy sell as long as you show him killing lots and lots of people, and that’s exactly what the audience got.
Here are some of the reactions from Twitter after the footage screened:
