Surprise? A 'John Wick' Sequel is Already Being Worked On

Take a gander at my 20 favorite movies of 2014 and you'll find The Raid 2 near the top of the list, but not too far behind was John Wick, which was nearly as awesome of an action flick. When the film became a surprise hit for Keanu Reeves and co-directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, it was only a matter of time before a sequel was green lit. Well, now we know it's already happening.

With John Wick now out on home video (order yours here now!!), http://www.movies.com/movie-news/john-wick-sequel/17849 chatted with the directors and they revealed work has begun on a sequel...

Stahelski: “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.” 

But what would John Wick be without Keanu? While there's no hard confirmation he'll return, he's sounded pretty open to it in the past. This sounds very early on, and in the meantime Stahelski and Leitch will be busy working on the comic adaptation Cowboy Ninja Viking starring Chris Pratt.
