Mel Gibson Is Totally Missing From John Wick Series Trailer, And Twitter Has Questions

“John Wick ” fans might have already checked out on the story’s next chapter.

The first trailer for “The Continental” came out on Tuesday, teasing the origin story of the Keanu Reeves character’s favorite New York haunt 40 years before the assassin hits the scene.

In the clip, a cast of killers takes care of business at the hotel while Donna Summer disco thumps in the background.

While the teaser has plenty of ’70s panache, one thing was conspicuously missing from the preview: star Mel Gibson .

If Peacock was trying to distract from its casting choice, it played the wrong hand.

The internet picked up on the omission almost instantly, wondering why the streamer would be shy about its leading man.

“If I was too embarrassed to show a single shot of Mel Gibson in my trailer, perhaps I would simply not hire Mel Gibson in the first place,” Collider’s Vinnie Mancuso tweeted.

Others online pointed out Gibson’s history of domestic abuse and antisemitic outbursts  and wondered if Peacock was co-signing on his behavior by hiring him.

“The Continental” has been in development since 2018. The Oscar winner came on board in 2021.

Though Gibson’s profile has waned in recent years, it hasn’t kept him from working. In 2022, he appeared in six films, including Sony’s “Father Stu” and Lionsgate’s “Hot Seat.”

Coming in close pursuit of “John Wick 4’s” March release, “The Continental” premieres in September 2023.
