The news of Lance Reddick’s death has left everyone in shock. The actor, who was known for his notable works in The Wire and films like the John Wick franchise, passed away on Friday morning. The actor, 60, was found dead in his Studio City home in Los Angeles. In the forthcoming movie, John Wich: Chapter 4, the late actor will be posthumously seen reprising the role of Charon, the concierge at the Continental Hotel in New York City, who has appeared in all four installments of the franchise. After Reddick’s death, the lead actor of the film Keanu Reeves and the director Chad Stahelski dedicated the upcoming movie to him.

In a statement to EW, the duo expressed that they’re deeply heartbroken and saddened to have received the unfortunate news. Reddick wasn’t just their colleague and a beloved friend, he was a person who was fun to work with, they revealed.

The plot of the fourth part is set against the backdrop of high-octane action sequences that takes place in New York, Berlin, Japan, and Paris, as the legendary hitman John Wick is pitted against the High Table globe.
