'John Wick' films have gotten bigger, better and there's more action: Ian McShane

New Delhi, Mar 22 (PTI) The "John Wick" films have become bigger and better with each installment, says veteran actor Ian McShane, who plays the role of hotel owner and close friend to Keanu Reeves' eponymous assassin in the movie franchise.

Working on the movie series, which has a dedicated fan base for its well-choreographed stunt sequences as well as the aura surrounding its lead star, has been "a pleasure for over the last 10 years" for McShane. "They're terrific films to do. We've become great friends. Keanu is great to work with. It's been a pleasure over the last 10 years, though it doesn't seem like 10 years. The films have gotten bigger, better and there's more action. I'm just glad that I'm observing it from the outside," the 80-year-old actor told PTI in a virtual interview ahead of the release of "John Wick: Chapter 4" on Friday.

In the fourth part, McShane returns as Winston, the owner of the fictional upscale New York hotel called The Continental, a safe haven for international assassins.
