John Wick 3 is Already in Development; Good Job Everyone
Man. When John Wick dropped, I never thought we would see a second movie. But, here we are! John Wick: Chapter 2 is dropping next year, fucking *and* a third movie is in the works.
Fan’s of “John Wick” are in for a treat — not only is the film getting a hotly anticipated sequel that’s set to release early next year, but, according to the film’s director, Lionsgate is already interested in a third installment.
Speaking to Collider, director Chad Stahelski revealed, “The studio has asked us to put our heads together and see if we can come up with something. Winston’s [McShane] is a big part of the next one, so is Lance Reddick. We’ve got some ideas.”
Discussing the process coming up for the sequel’s plot, Stahelski was candid about the frustration that came with devising a story that made sense. “When it came to coming up with a story idea, we had like ten bad ideas, and they we were like, ‘fuck it,’ what would have just happened the next day. Once we stopped worrying about ourselves, it was fun. Is it as good as the first one? I don’t know, that’s personal opinion. Did we go better in some ways? Yes. Did we explore the character more? Yes. It’s better, I think, technically. Is the enjoyment better? Yes, it’s there, but it’s completely different.”
The helmer also touched on Ruby Rose’s character in the film, saying, “I don’t know if she was expecting Wick to be as kooky as it really is, but she’s mute in the movie, she does the whole thing in sign language. She was nervous for the first couple days, and then she just went for it.”
