The 2014 action movie "John Wick" proved to be one of Keanu Reeves' best films in recent years and is widely considered as a return to form for the action genre. According to a new report from Collider, the film's sequel has now been confirmed to be set in Rome, Italy and will be pitting the titular hero against an entire guild of assassins.

According to the report, the newly released synopsis states that Wick is once again pulled out of retirement when a former associate of his, likely another highly-skilled hitman, tries to take over a "shadowy international assassin's guild." Wick is bound by blood to help his former friend and travels to Rome to aid in this fight against some of the world's best hired killers.

The synopsis does not reveal who the main villain is or the actor that will portray the role and it does not reveal much in regards to the film's set pieces or what Wick may have been doing since the ending of the first film. However, as stated in a report from Screen Rant, it will further explore the world and lore that the first film only hinted at.

During the course of the first film, it was revealed that even hitmen have a system and the Continental Hotel was revealed to be a safe house for hired killers to rest, where no killings could take place. This underground society of assassins and mercenaries will be further explored in the second film.

The film will also see the return of John Leguizamo as Aurelio, the chop shop owner, and Bridget Moynahan as Wick's deceased wife. Ian McShane returns as the Continental Hotel's owner and Lance Reddick returns as the hotel's concierge.

Common has been revealed to be playing the head of security for a female crime lord and Laurence Fishburne has been cast for an unidentified role.

"John Wick: Chapter Two" will be released on Feb. 10, 2017.
