The Continental is at capability in new trailer for Peacock’s John Wick prequel sequence

Whereas the very first teaser for Peacock’s forthcoming The Continental sequence was somewhat mild on particulars, the newest trailer positively makes it look like the John Wick prequel goes to dwell as much as the movies’ action-packed fame — or die attempting.

Set in Seventies New York Metropolis, The Continental revolves round youthful variations of Winston Scott (Colin Woodell) and Charon (Ayomide Adegun) as the 2 turn out to be entangled in an intricate struggle of assassins that’s fated to finish with them coming into energy on the sequence’ titular resort. Although Winston’s seemingly no stranger to what kind of enterprise goes down on the Continental, the brand new trailer establishes the way it isn’t till his brother Frankie (Ben Robson) runs afoul of the resort’s then-head Cormac (Mel Gibson) that he actually begins to be sucked into its world of well-dressed insanity.

Quite than full-on working with Cormac to get again no matter Frankie stole, The Continental’s new trailer makes it look like Winston may as an alternative take issues into his personal palms by allying together with his brother and plenty of different outsiders, like Miles (Hubert Level-Du Jour), Lou (Jessica Allain), and Lemmy (Adam Shapiro), to destroy the resort.

In fact, with a resort just like the Continental — one stuffed with eccentric skilled killers who’re all attempting to chill out — pulling off that form of hostile takeover is less complicated stated than performed. The trailer makes clear that each single certainly one of Winston’s targets goes to place up one hell of an excellently choreographed struggle earlier than he’s in a position to get rid of them, which is nice to see. However the trailer additionally makes it pretty apparent that Gibson’s Cormac goes to be fairly central to The Continental’s plot, which is an extremely disappointing and bizarre alternative on producer Lionsgate Tv’s half that’s in all probability going to maintain various individuals from tuning in to The Continental when it hits Peacock on September twenty second.
