Days after Lance Reddick’s death, the cast and crew of John Wick: Chapter 4 Assembled for the movie’s red carpet premiere in Hollywood. Reddick was on the minds of everyone in attendance, as the likes of Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne recounted the fond memories they shared with their late actor.
“Lance was a lovely person, a special artist, a man of grace and dignity, and he had such a passion for his craft,” Reeves told Deadline at the premiere. “To have the opportunity to work with him over 10 years and four films is something very special to me and it’s annoying that he’s not here.”

Fishburne got equally emotional on the mat, saying Reddick was one of the building blocks of the franchise.
“We love Lance,” Fishburne told THR. “We miss Lance. He’s the heart of these movies in so many movies. We lost our brother, but we made a beautiful movie and it’s the best of them all. I think people are going to love it and, you know, that’s what it’s about. At the end of the day, he doesn’t want us not to.” .

Riddick was found dead in his Studio City home on the morning of March 17th. No cause of death has been reported, and law enforcement officials say the actor’s death appeared to be natural.
“Lance was taken from us very early,” read a statement from Riddick’s wife, Stephanie. “Thank you for all of your great love, support and beautiful stories shared on these platforms over the past day. I see your messages and I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for having them.”
“And to the thousands of Destiny players who played in a special tribute to Lance, thank you,” the statement continued. “I love you Lance as much as I love the game. Donations can be made to momcares.org in Baltimore, his hometown.”
