NYCC 2016: What We Learned From The ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ Panel

5. John Wick’s New Dog and ‘Pseudo-Ally’ In Laurence Fishburne’s Character

And now the question we’ve all been waiting for: what happens to John’s new dog companion? After Daisy’s short-lived appearance in “John Wick” as man’s best friend, we’re all curious as to how John’s newly found companion is to be utilized in the sequel. Producer Bernacchi wasn’t sure if he was allowed by Lionsgate to reveal the still unnamed dog’s fate, but he did say it’s “great.”:

“You guys will see what happens to the dog. You guys will see in the movie. It’s great. Needless to say, we killed about 80 Italians in the movie.”

Stahelski also talked about the coincidental “Matrix” reunion when they cast Laurence Fishburne, who’s character was described by Stahelski as a “pseudo-ally”:

“It was really written with laurence in mind. We haven’t worked together in a long time. He read the script and he lived it. And that’s how we did the matrix reunion.”
