We chat with JohnWick4 star Natalia Tena (nattenalady) preparing for her role as John Wick's estranged family, working with Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves, and her thoughts on the new HarryPotter series:
John Wick: Chapter 4 follows the titular anti-hero as he follows a new lead to take on the High Table itself. However, his plans take a dangerous turn when the High Table sends a dangerous new adversary after his allies, the Marquis Vincent de Gramont. With those closest to him becoming targets and other friends becoming foes, John Wick may have his most difficult fight yet.
Natalia Tena on John Wick: Chapter 4 Screen Rant: You are so good in this movie. I binged the first three John Wick movies before watching the fourth. All of it's so good. I loved your character. He basically explained this woman and was like, "She is the matriarch of the Roma underground in Berlin. And she's John Wick's..." We couldn't work it out, whether it's his niece or his cousin. We kind of talked about, but essentially it's extended family. In my mind, the last time she saw him, she was maybe 18 at a really weird family Christmas. I don't know what that looks like, but that's the last time she saw him. She's the matriarch. Her dad died.
In fact, I asked him at one of the premieres, "How long did it take to do the Parisian around the roundabout.?" It was so much less than I thought. I think he said like two weeks, but he planned it for months. So I think that's how I got a sense of t. Usually the beginning of a film, first week, people are trying to as a puzzle work together as a team. A lot of people just naturally, because they don't know each other yet, is dropping balls. The day overruns all that s--t.
We just played and we just hung out for a little bit. I hate the word cool, but he is a very cool, man. Very sweet, very soft. I think everyone there just has worked together before, so they are kind of an actual family. That's what that's the sense I got. And I was very, very welcomed into it. Natalia Tena: Yeah, I actually I was gonna tell him this, but I didn't get the premiere. But just before the premieres, I was like, "Hey, let's have a Keanu Reeves appreciation day.
I think one of the things you do really well as a performer is key into the physicality of a character where you transform into them. And I think that's something that is one of my favorite things to see actors do because watching them in different movies, you're like, "Okay, they feel like a different person." I think you do a very good job with that.
Natalia Tena: It can be the walk. And again, a costume massively plays into that. She had these great heels and snakeskin waistcoat. Me and Paco were like, especially when we know Spanish terminology which I can't really translate, but it's all the rings and it's just like, where the weight of your costume is, as well. The rings, lots of rings, load of tattoos, which were kind of semi permanent. And I was like, "Don't bother take them off at the end of the week.
[Aren't] they gonna do a spin off? But now following that story and those characters. Obviously, I knew someone was dead, but it's like, "Oh, okay, so we're still going to keep going with the High Table and other people that are trapped in this mafia." And this cycle of hate. Natalia Tena: I would have loved to have seen the Christmas of the Roma family. He's like, "You've grown up." And I'm like, "You've got old.
Yeah, I will say in that first movie, where he's like, "I have to kill everyone now." I was like, "That's fair. I agree." What is something you learned on this project that you want to take into your future work?
