Although we recently heard that John Wick directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski were being courted to direct Cowboy Ninja Viking starring Chris Pratt, it is a little surprising that up until now no one was asking the obvious question: what about a John Wick sequel? Well now that John Wick has arrived on DVD and Blu-ray, Leitch and Stahelski have revealed that another movie featuring the mysterious hitman is already in development. While they did not go into any details about where the story might be heading, they did promise that they want to focus on building on up the character and the personality of John Wick. Here’s what Stahelski had to say about it:

“We have ideas for days and without blinking twice we know we can outdo the action from the original… It’s the matter of story and how much you like the character. That’s always the most important. If there’s great action but you have a character that no one likes and doesn’t have charisma you’re not going to watch it. Look at any great action star, whether it’s Harrison Ford or Liam Neeson or Robert Downey Jr., pick a name, you love the guy first. Good action, bad action, you just love them in action. So we want to make sure we have a story and a character that everybody loves and then we’ll dress it with action that we promise will be awesome.”

It doesn’t seem like a deal is in place yet for Keanu Reeves to return, but it’s hard to imagine them doing a sequel without him. Clearly, it’s still pretty early and the script has yet to be written, but I can easily see this becoming a new action franchise that provides VOD fodder for years to come. Are you interested in a John Wick sequel or would you like to see these guys direct something else instead?
