Of course, “in development” could mean a lot of things, but director Stahelski had this to say:
“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.”
Here’s hoping this happens sooner rather than later, as I cannot wait to re-enter this blood-soaked world of gun kata and one-liners. If you haven’t seen John Wick yet, it’s out now on home video.
