Optical illusion: Besides Keanu Reeves, what else can you spot in the new John Wick 4 poster?

A new poster for John Wick: Chapter 4, which is a sequel to the 2019 film John Wick Chapter 3, has been released. It features an intense-looking Keanu Reeves looking at the camera. The Lionsgate Twitter handle revealed the new poster writing, "His time is up. #JohnWick4 - in theaters & IMAX March 24."

But besides Keanu Reeves, what's caught people's attention is the hidden optical illusion in the poster itself.

See it for yourself:

When you first glance at the poster, you see a very simple headshot of the actor. However, as you delve close, you will see John Wick's tie is in fact an hourglass.

There's more to it…

The hourglass is filled with bullets, given the action-packed elements the film is known for. Apart from that, the logo has a very creative and innovative side to it.

The John Wick poster sure does test our visual perception. It is in fact very clever to have the tie as an hourglass, possibly indicating that the movie is time-constraint and full of action.

Furthermore, it has been noted that the logo - the JW initials - highlight the numerals IV, depicting that this is indeed John Wick's fourth attempt to escape the villainous High Table.
