John Wick Director Expresses Interest in Collaborating with Charlize Theron, Robert Downey Jr, and Other A-List Actors

John Wick was initially a standalone movie, but the franchise has now grown into a multi-film and television series universe. John Wick Chapter 4 director, Chad Stahelski, recently expressed his desire to work with a few actors whom he admires. In an interview with The Direct, Stahelski revealed that while he wants to give John Wick a break, he has a list of actors he’d love to work with.

Stahelski mentioned that Cillian Murphy, the lead actor from Peaky Blinders, would be a great fit for one of his films. He also expressed his admiration for Colin Farrell, Charlize Theron, Jurnee Smollett, Michelle Yeoh, Robert Downey Jr, Peter Dinklage, and Sean Bean, saying that he would “die for a chance” to work with any of them.

Although it’s unlikely that John Wick will feature prominently in any upcoming films, the franchise is set to expand with the upcoming TV series, The Continental, which will explore the early history of the hotel featured in the films. The Continental is scheduled to premiere on Peacock on September 22, 2023. Additionally, the franchise’s next film, Ballerina, will be released on June 7, 2024. The movie will focus on the character Rooney, played by Ana de Armas, and will take place between the events of John Wick Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
