The canine character is seemingly a woman, and is a distinct pup than we have seen earlier than. The one canine within the “John Wick: Chapter 4″ trailers to date seems to be a complete lot like one in all Sofia’s Malinois (pictured above), but it surely’s presumably a brand new canine that simply seems to be comparable. In any case, I can’t think about Sofia giving up one in all her infants, it doesn’t matter what. Similar to when stunt performers apply with each other, additionally they need to apply with their canine co-stars, and the best way Stahelski describes it sounds wonderful: 

“Nicely, the character of the canine is a her, however we had, let’s have a look at, three females and two male canine to comp all one canine collectively, relying on what the stunt, or the gag, or the appearing bit was. This time we discovered so much from final time, however we wished a bit of bit extra out of this one in specialty stuff. We had the canine, I believe it was simply over 5 months, to work with forged and on stunts. It is simply once you’re bringing within the stunt groups, and we have now completely different stunt groups on this one as a result of it is a lot larger, the canine is rather like pals. You must get to know your mates. So to ensure that the canine to be very playful, and secure, and have the boldness identical to a human would, they need to spend time with every particular person stunt man.”

This meant that the stunt group needed to work on rotation with the canine, with a distinct stuntman taking part in for an hour at a time. They’d 5 months collectively to coach, get tackled, and play Frisbee with the canine, bonding with them in order that they had been in a position to talk correctly in entrance of the digital camera.
