As its name suggests, The Continental: From the World of John Wick expands upon the concepts and mythos seen in the now-classic Keanu Reeves series. It does so not by focusing on Wick himself, but instead on a story from long before he comes into prominence. The result is a prequel that’s much more than just a lot of backstory that fans already expect.Beyond the obvious setup for the future events of John Wick and its sequels, The Continental also provides key world-building. The rules of assassins are more clearly laid out, as well as their level of interaction with the outside world. On top of that, aspects completely unrelated to the movies are introduced, making it clear just how much trouble Winston went through before he gained control of the series’ iconic hotel location.The main character in The Continental is Winston Scott, who fans of the John Wick series know as the future proprietor of the titular Continental hotel chain. These are safe havens for the universe’s assassins, and his connections to that particular world afford Winston a lot of power, resources, and friends in high places. Of course, that’s not at all what the young Winston has at his disposal in The Continental. Instead, he has to rely purely on his own wits, guile, and charm, having none of the inherent respect that later makes him a vital ally of John Wick. In fact, his journey resembles Wick’s own adventures in the movies.RELATED: The Continental Changes the Bowery King’s Backstory – Or Does It?RELATED: The Continental: How Dune 2 Affected the Production of the John Wick Spinoff
