John Wick director Chad Stahelski revealed this in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the group is engaged on an anime prequel to John Wick that can present his life earlier than the primary movie, a intelligent manner so as to add to the lore with out having to digitally age Keanu Reeves. With a brand new TV sequence, a spin-off movie and John Wick 5 formally confirmed, it seems just like the franchise is firing on each cylinder and hopefully all the things will come collectively. Not often has a movie franchise revolving round a single character been so profitable, however John Wick 4 was very nicely acquired by followers and critics alike, with the premise clearly capturing the spirit of the instances and evolving with every new iteration.

“Proper now we’re deep into improvement on a function movie about John Wick. It is a prequel to the films, which is nice. It is enjoyable that it is in a special medium. We could be a little crazier and crazier within the anime.”

If there’s one factor that lends itself to the frenetic visuals of anime, it is John Wick’s balletic bullet type, a veritable juggernaut of unstoppable loss of life. Will or not it’s good? Remaining phrase to the director:

“To be fully boastful, we’ve not spent the final ten years working simply to see all of it go to shit.”
