The 52-year-old iconic Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves, who features as a hitman in the much popular movie titled John Wick and the latest released John Wick: Chapter 2, said that he liked his character to suffer in the hands of chance and fate.

"We wanted to come to a place that John literally had to fight for his life, and that he's starting to become a little anti-establishment. And that's really where the character starts to develop." Said the actor.

"It's like the rules and world that he lived by, aren't starting to work for him, and they're not working" Reeves added.

He continued, "There are people who are out to get him because of his transgressions. And we liked that idea because we like John - when I say 'we' I mean the producers, the writer, the director - we like to see him suffer!"

Reeves also shared that the director of the film Chad Stahelski along with the writer Derek Kolstad, wanted to cast the end of the movie in a way which makes the character of John Wick more vulnerable.

"We wanted to put him in another vulnerable... 'How's he going to get out?! How's he going to survive?! What's it mean?! What's he going to do?!' I don't know! We have some ideas. Maybe he needs to go to Jerusalem! Or he's in the middle of the desert. Or whatever!" Said Reeves.
