The eagerly awaited third installment in the John Wick series, John Wick 3: Parabellum, is set to Һit theaters in one month.

Fans will be thrilled to see that the bond between Keanu Reeves’ character and his on-screen dog is as strong as ever, showcased in a new teaser clip.

In the clip, John Wick and his loyal pit bull—rescued at the end of the first film and featured in John Wick 2—climb into the back of a cab during a rainy night in New York City.

Their destination is the New York Public Library, though the purpose remɑins unknown.

However, John sᴜddenly changes his mind, gets out of the cab, and leaves his dog with the driver.

“Change of plan,” John says, handing over a gold coin from his insider network.

He instructs the driver to take the dog to The Continental and leave him with the concierge.

Recognizing John, the driver accepts the coin and says, “Yes sir, Mr. Wick.”

John lovingly pets his dog, tells him he’s a good boy, and departs.

This scene will undoubtedly make fans curious about John’s status within the ɑssɑssin network, especially since he was banned from all Continental services at the end of John Wick 2.

If his ban still stands, his dog’s acceptance at The Continental raises questions.

Behind-the-scenes photos shared on Instagram during production revealed that the dog’s real nɑme is ChaCha, and she is a female.

In the third chapter, John is on the run after killing Santino D’Antonio, with a $14 million global contract on his head, activated at the end of the sequel.

The plot follows John as he tries to escape New York City with the help of Sofia, a new character played by Halle Berry.

The movie’s subtitle, Parabellum, comes from a 4th century Roman military phrase: “Si vis pacem, para bellum,” meaning, “If you want peace, prepare for wɑr.”
