The Big Picture The Continental: From the World of John Wick faced a challenging assignment from the jump. Would audiences care about John Wick without the man himself? Surely, Keanu Reeves and the creative fusion of Derek Kolstad and Chad Stahelski were the glue holding the already simplistic yet shrewd franchise together.
Stahelski and Kolstad expanded the Wick world with each subsequent film like a slow-rising theatre curtain. They doled out larger tidbits that were half-playful in their fantasticalness, hence the urban fantasy vibe; that sub-genre is consolidated to gloomy cities, brooding protagonists, and powerful antagonists, but with magic. What could be convoluted story strands — and arguably are, since John Wick plucked from the idea buffet with seeming abandon — instead connect with surprising fluidity.
The Continental's biggest addition comes in the form of the MacGuffin coin press Frankie steals. Whatever secrets this "more than just a coin press" holds, it's enough to send Cormac into a mean panic. It's enough to bring in Katie McGrath's elegantly masked Adjudicator, a role introduced in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. When a situation's dire, Adjudicators work as intermediaries for the High Table.
