]]>John Wick: Chapter 4 is the highest-grossing film in this series, and it’s largely responsible for its overall box office success. Since its premiere on March 24, this film grossed a worldwide total of $426.2 million, including $184 million domestically and $242.2 million overseas, to become the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2023 so far.
This number is quite mind-blowing considering that the original John Wick grossed $87.8 million worldwide, followed by $171.54 million earned by John Wick: Chapter 2 and $326.7 million for John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Joe Drake praised the team behind this franchise for crossing the $1 billion mark and said they could not be more grateful to global moviegoers for bringing them to this incredible achievement.
“This milestone is a testament to the incredible work of Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves, alongside Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, who have made it their mission to outdo themselves with each successive film in this franchise,” said Drake in a statement.

]]>According to its official logline, The Continental will “explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick universe through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott, as he’s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind.”
Colin Woodell will play the lead role in this project, while the rest of the cast will include Ayomide Adegun, Peter Greene, Mel Gibson, Ben Robson, Hubert Point-Du Jour, Jessica Allain, Mishel Prada, and Nhung Kate. It was developed by Greg Coolidge, Kirk Ward, and Shawn Simmons, and it’s expected to premiere on Peacock this September.
The Continental will be the first offshoot project inspired by the John Wick films, but it won’t be the last. The spinoff film Ballerina starring Ana de Armas will hit the theatres next year, and several more films are in the early stages of development but they’re yet to be confirmed.

]]>The series was ordered back in 2018 and it follows the inner workings of the titular hotel which is a refuge for assassins, from the film franchise. The Continental will look at the origin behind the hotel-for-assassins through Winston Scott, who is in a 1975 New York City and faces his past he thought he left behind. He goes through a deadly course through New York’s underworld in an attempt to seize the hotel, which is the meeting point for the world’s most dangerous criminals.
Gibson is set to play Cormac, but no details have been released about his character. Previously it was announced that The Continental will be a three-night event series and no premiere date is set.
The series comes from Greg Coolidge and Kirk Ward, who also serve as showrunners. Chad Stahelski, Derek Kolstad, David Leitch, Shawn Simmons, Paul Wernick, Rhett Reese, Basil Iwanyk, and Erica Lee serve as executive producers.
This is Gibson’s first regular TV role. He was in the Australian series The Sullivans in the 1970s and made appearances in other shows. Gibson is mostly known for his film roles which include the Lethal Weapon and Mad Max franchises, Braveheart, The Patriot, and Signs.
The three John Wick films made over $300 million at the global box office, according to Variety. A fourth film is filming and is set to be released on May 27, 2022.

]]>In addition to Reeves, the next John Wick will also star Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane, and Rina Sawayama, and director Chad Stahelski couldn’t be any happier to get Brown on board, as well.
“I have been a fan of Clancy Brown’s since I can remember. To have him be a part of this project is an honor. He will make a perfect addition to the World of John Wick!” said Stahelski in a statement.
Brown’s casting in the next John Wick movie comes shortly after he appeared in the critically acclaimed black comedy Promising Young Woman. We’ll soon get to see him play the main villain on Dexter: New Blood, alongside Michael C. Hall.
John Wick: Chapter 4 will hit the theaters on May 27th, 2022 and it’s expected to be followed by two more sequels. Plot details are being kept under the wraps right now, but Stahelski discussed it on several occasions in the past and said we shouldn’t expect a happy ending.

]]>“We are very lucky to have Donnie Yen join the franchise,” said Stahelski. “I am looking forward to working with him in this exciting new role.”
According to reports, Yen’s character is described as a long-time friend of John Wick (Keanu Reeves). The two not only share similar history but also have a number of common enemies.
Yen’s addition to the project follows the casting of pop star Rina Sawayama in one of the lead roles.
John Wick 4 is expected to start with filming this summer in various locations in Japan, Germany, and France. The release date has been set for May 27, 2022.
Donnie Yen is a well-familiar name for fans of martial arts movies, having headlined a number of popular movies, including Ip Man, Iron Monkey, Flash Point, and many more. He also has a prolific career in Hollywood, appearing in blockbuster films Star Wars: Rogue One and XXX: Return of Xander Cage.

]]>According to Lionsgate’s CEO John Feltheimer, the next John Wick movie is coming our way on May 27, 2022, and its sequel will hit the theaters earlier than expected.
“We’re also busy preparing scripts for the next two installments of our John Wick action franchise, with John Wick 4 slated to hit theatres Memorial Day weekend 2022. We hope to shoot both John Wick 4 and 5 back to back when Keanu becomes available early next year,” said Feltheimer.
Director Chad Stahelski discussed the future of this franchise back in late April and said it’s highly unlikely they’ll start shooting this year due to Keanu Reeves’ commitment to The Matrix 4. The production on this film was halted back in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and he won’t be able to start working on John Wick before it wraps up.

]]>Starz President and CEO Jeffrey Hirsch revealed at the recent Television Critics Association event that the series will be released sometime after John Wick: Chapter 4 will hit the theaters. According to Hirsch, the decision was made that way to make sure it doesn’t affect the film. He also said that he is confident in the show’s writers after a pitch meeting about the pilot.
The show will be called The Continental, and although John Wick may make some appearances, it will focus on the hotel that appeared in the films. Up until now, there haven’t been any casting or crew announcements.
John Wick: Chapter 4 is coming out in May 2021. It may be the last entry in the franchise movie-wise. The film series is getting a spin-off though: Ballerina, which will be directed by Len Wiseman.

]]>This promising project will focus on a young female assassin who seeks revenge against the people who killed her family. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum actually featured a character under the name Ballerina, played by Unity Phelan, but it’s still unclear if she’ll be the titular star of the spinoff.
This promising project already found its director in Len Wiseman, whose previous credits include Total Recall and Underworld. He’s also attached to the upcoming Sin City TV series and the new Die Hard movie titled McClane.
Ballerina isn’t the only movie in John Wick franchise we’re looking forward to right now. The titular assassin will continue his adventures in a fourth movie, set to be released in 2021, with Keanu Reeves returning to the lead role once again.

]]>“This series is truly unlike anything else on TV,” said Chris Albrecht, President and CEO of Starz about the series. “The Continental promises to include the thunderous fight sequences and intensely staged shootouts between professional assassins and their targets that fans have come to expect in the John Wick movie franchise as well as introducing some new, darkly compelling characters who inhabit this underground world.”
Albrecht also added that the TV series will exist “side-by-side” with the movies, which gives us hope that we might see some of our favorite characters from the movie in The Continental.
The idea to do a TV adaptation of John Wick which focuses on the Continental Hotel has been teased for some time now. Previously Stahelski talked about studio’s wish to explore this part of the movie’s story.
“They’ve got a really good structure.” said Stahelski a few months ago. “It’s very tied to the film [in that] it’s about the Continentals all over the world, how certain people come into that world, and what happens in relation to those people, which is cool. I think the world is very vast, and everything I’ve heard from it is very positive. […] It’s something that studio seems very, very intent on [making] and very, very behind… You can be with the consigliere, concierge, the sommelier — you can be with all these different characters and walk through the world in different aspects; ones that I’m a little limited [from exploring] by staying with my lead guy.”
