John Wick will be bringing his unique brand of action and violence back to the big screen next year, but the cult sequel will hopefully debut some new footage at this year's New York Comic-Con, which takes place next week.

To tide fans over until the big convention, the official Twitter account shared a new photo from the film, which features Wick and his lovable canine pal that he met towards the end of the original.

You can view the newest photo in the gallery.

On Saturday, October 8th, attendees will be allowed to take part in an hour-long panel, which is expected to feature new footage from both John Wick: Chapter 2 and Lionsgate's other big property, Power Rangers.

The action will again be a focus, but director Chad Stahelski is also aiming to do some world building in the new entry as well.

"What's it like to be in a world like this? That's what we really wanted to expand on," the director said. "Me and the other creators on the show, my partner and the other producers, the biggest attraction to us about filmmaking really is creating a universe, and creating a world, and creating a little bit of escape. That's really what we focused on and we're hoping that's what comes across in the second movie."

Keanu Reeves returns in the sequel to the 2014 hit as legendary hitman John Wick who is forced to back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins' guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world's deadliest killers."

John Wick: Chapter 2 lands in theaters on February 10, 2017.
