John Wick: Chapter 2
Update : John Wick 3 starts film in Montrealin April 2018 .
John Wick : Chapter 2director Chad Stahelski says the third chapter in the series may lead off take by the end of the twelvemonth . star Keanu Reeves in the nominal part , the blinking , brute and outrageously entertaining R - ratedJohn Wickfilms have without interrogation catapulted the revenge thriller genre to a whole raw level .
John Wick , of form , kick it all off in 2014 with a solid $ 88.7 million globular take ( $ 43 million domestically ) against a relatively low $ 20 million budget . Seeing voltage in the series , Lionsgate / Summit Entertainment wisely lead a prospect withJohn taper : Chapter 2- and following its exit in February , the film stop up doubling the firstJohn Wick’stake at the global box office with $ 166.8 million ( $ 92 million domestically ) .
WithChapter 2leaving awide - open finish , it seemed that greenlightingJohn Wick 3was all but a formalness - and now Stahelski has some details . In an consultation withColliderabout the pending release ofChapter 2on DVD / Blu - ray , Stalhelski , implied the third film is formally a go , and laid out a possible production timeline :
" We ’re currently in the midsection of writing it right now . It ’s more of a how fast can we get our shit together . But I would assume that if not by the end of this class , the beginning of next yr . ”
The interesting thing about theJohn Wickfilms is that their successes have bred high demand for its directors . David Leitch , who co - directed the firstJohn Wickwith Stahelski , move on not only the helm of this summer’sAtomic Blonde , but also grab the manager ’s rein on the upcomingDeadpool 2 . Stahelski , meanwhile , has signed on to send theHighlandermovie reboot , leaving the query of who ’s directingJohn Wick 3hanging in the air . For the time being , he Stahelski says he ’s " super involved " with the thirdJohn Wick , and he take a shit it sound like he require to keep it that way :
“ Currently I ’m play as prep conductor . Hopefully everything will do work out meter wise . Of course — I would eff to … ”
No matter who is at the helm , Stahelski tellsColliderthat the end of the third film is not to"go bigger,“but to show"more of the intricacies of the reality " :
" I feel like there are all these unlike subtleties that I skipped over in Number Two , that I ’d wish to go back to on [ chapter three ] and show you the inner workings of unlike parts of New York . So rather than massive dictated pieces , I ’d like to show you coolheaded and more intricate ones … I think it would be a misapprehension budget impertinent and creatively to just go big and blow up a superhighway . That ’s not our gig . That ’s a comic account book or a Bond gig . We require to show you cool and intricate point . What are those small inside information in everyday life ? Hopefully – we make people look at garbage collector and clean van and homeless the great unwashed a little differently now . ”
Whatever the case may be , the Florida key is that Reeves , whose enjoy a vocation revival with theJohn Wickfilms , is as committed toJohn Wick 3as he was the first two films . With apparently no character to rely on to startJohn Wick’sthird chapter , devotee can only hope that Laurence Fishburne ’s splendid but far - too - lowly of a supporting part inChapter 2is greatly expanded inJohn Wick 3 . Fishburne ’s Bowery King is far too engaging to be left as a defend role player .
