Lionsgate has released a newJohn Wick 3: Parabellumimage. Now, as we all know,John Wickis one of the hottest action franchises around right now. It’s gotKeanu Reevesas a war machine, able to take down hordes of assassins. He can kill with the best weaponry, or just use a pencil if need be. It’s a very cool series that despite some occasional flaws and bumps, has really made a splash on the action landscape.

So here’s a photo of two supporting characters standing next to each other.

To be clear, I have nothing againstLaurence FishburneorIan McShane. They’re both very fine actors to say the least, and I’m glad that they’re both returning forJohn Wick 3. But is this the best way to sell the movie? Or is the assumption here that fans will seeJohn Wick 3no matter what, so you don’t really have to show them anything of substance? I’m not saying that Lionsgate should start tweeting out the most memorable moments from the movie, but maybe if you’re going to promote an action movie, show something with a little action in it? If I told you that this wasn’t an image from the movie and was just Fishburne and McShane waiting for the director to call action, could you do anything to prove me wrong?

I’m sure the film itself will be fun and exciting, but it would be nice if the promotional photos followed suit.
