It is therefore not too much brainwork to know that it is absolutely essential for him to be on-board the project, even before the writers, director or pre-production crew gets on. Let’s get something absolutely straight here: there is no John Wick without Keanu Reeves. It would be quite something to see the two characters kicking serious ass, and Lionsgate needs to pour in some money to make this happen, stat. Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron are a match made in hell, and the devil there too dare not cross paths with them. This comes from David Leitch, who co-directed the first John Wick film, and moved away from the second to focus instead on ‘Atomic Blonde’.

Wickerina, anyone?įinally, a wild theory that gets my hopes and adrenaline up but also sadly unlikely to happen, is a crossover movie between John Wick and Lorraine Broughton from ‘ Atomic Blonde’. The child assassin bit is probably pushing it a bit, but then again, ‘Logan’ worked wonders, as might Wick and Ballerina. The second important development we should talk about is that Lionsgate has reportedly acquired a script tentatively titled ‘Ballerina’, centred on a child assassin in the Wick universe.

David Leitch, Derek Kolstad and Chad Stahelski, who have all been instrumental in the creation of this universe are involved with the series in either writing or executive producing capacities, with Kolstad and Stahelski approaching the project as co-creators.
The good news is that Reeves will reprise his role as John Wick in the series, which alone is enough to get people to watch it, albeit in a smaller capacity, while also serving as co-producer. The show will prominently feature the hotel of the same name that is a front for the International Assassin’s Guild, and a safe haven for killers and guns for hire. Therefore, keeping all that into account, the next film might not just continue Wick’s story but also expand the John Wick universe.īefore we move on, let’s first look into ‘The Continental’, the spin-off that has been already been greenlit by Lionsgate and is set to air on Starz network. Looking at how Lionsgate quickly greenlit ‘John Wick 4’ right after Chapter 3 released (exactly how they commissioned Chapter 3 immediately after Chapter 2), it is a clear sign that the film will be put on a fast-tracked production schedule allowing the film to be released in less than a couple of years. As with a number of shared universes, there are a couple of working scripts and ideas that have been pitched to the producers, Lionsgate, and there is positive confirmation that at least two of them have been greenlit. No plot details have been announced as of now, but that does not mean that we can’t make intelligent guesses. So, on May 20, 2019, the studio officially confirmed that fans will get to see John Wick 4 in 2021. You know as much as I do that given ‘Parabellum’s inspiring box office and critical success (it is rated 88% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) it was only a matter of time before Lionsgate greenlit the fourth installment of the series. The prospects of a sequel are more often than not predominantly dependent on the success of the film. The third film in the franchise, ‘ John Wick: Chapter 3- Parabellum’, yet again proved to be a box office winner, especially given that it’s an R-rated hardcore action flick among the swell of family movies currently ruling the roast.
