The Next 'John Wick' Sequel Just Scored Its Biggest Update Yet

The John Wick franchise has come a long way from the original little action movie that could. Under the direction of stuntman-turned-filmmaker Chad Stahelski, the fledgling franchise has blossomed into a billion-dollar juggernaut, launching Keanu Reeves back into superstardom with a role to rival Neo in The Matrix and that acts as an homage to action of all kinds, from Hong Kong classics like the work of John Woo to even the carnage of video games like Hotline Miami. John Wick: Chapter 4 proved to be a high point, seemingly capping off the titular assassin's journey with a $447.4 million global haul and a fitting farewell, but the world keeps expanding. Last year saw the release of the spin-off Ballerina starring Ana de Armas, but right now, John's old friend is preparing to take the spotlight.
