The beforehand introduced John Wick anime mission remains to be on the best way, and now it is apparently a movie about how the titular character retired.
Round this time final yr, John Wick sequence director Chad Stahelski shared that an anime mission set within the franchise’s world was within the works, and on the time it was deliberate to be a TV present. Now, although, in response to a latest interview from The Hollywood Reporter with Stahelski, plainly the anime has been retooled barely. This outing will apparently be a prequel, targeted on everybody’s favorite titular murderer, as he units out on the “unattainable process” that allowed him to retire for love. Whether or not that is one thing that wanted to be coated in a movie or not is up for debate, however nonetheless, if finished proper a John Wick anime might be a reasonably enjoyable journey to the cinema.
On the time of the anime’s announcement, Stahelski mentioned they’re doing an anime as a result of “I like Japanese anime a lot. To create all of the cool tales that anime might obtain higher than we might and the TV present to broaden our world, we’ll nonetheless get our repair, you understand what I imply? And we’ll nonetheless have all of the enjoyable.” Stahelski is clearly making an attempt to get his mitts on as a lot anime as potential, as he is additionally been overseeing the motion sequences within the upcoming Shinichiro Watanabe-directed sequence Lazarus, Watanabe greatest identified for creating Cowboy Bebop, so I am anticipating some robust battle scenes from that one.
Stahelski additionally spoke of a potential John Wick 5, although did not essentially decide to something coming that manner, saying, “is there a chance to do [John Wick 5]? In fact, there may be, whether or not it’s for cash or for creativity. Jesus, within the final three years, I’ve already had three or 4 variations of a John Wick 5. They had been alternative ways to crack the story, however it’s nearly a psychological train for me.”
Nonetheless, to protect the ending of the fourth movie, he did observe that it “wouldn’t be a part of that [John Wick: Chapter 4] storyline. It will not be what you’d assume it’s. So far as [John Wick: Chapter 4], we’ve peaked.”
There’s a lot within the works for John Wick in any case, as there is a sequel TV sequence on the best way, alongside that Ballerina spin-off due out subsequent yr.
