John Wick Chapter 3 To Explore John’s Past; To End The Assassin’s Story
After the surprise box office success of the previous two movies, Keanu Reeves will be back in John Wick: Chapter 3. According to director Chad Stahelski, the third installment of the neo-noir action franchise is already in development and, in a recent interview, he shared what fans can expect in the continuation of the story of an ex-assassin forced back out of retirement after the murder of his puppy.
GETTING TO KNOW JOHN WICK
While John Wick was a straight-up revenge story, John Wick: Chapter 2 was all about the world of hired assassins hidden within New York City. In John Wick: Chapter 3, the franchise will switch the focus back to its protagonist.
“We’re going to put in something about where John comes from,” Stahelski told The Independent, “and where he wants to go. I don’t want to say too much more, but it will be a nice completion to Mr. Wick’s journey.”
The past two movies already gave a hint at the history of John Wick, including why he had to leave his profession. Fans know that the assassin fell in love and got married, but his wife died leaving him alone with a puppy. After that, well, things got out of hand.
He also shared that he already has an idea about the life of John Wick before the events of the first movie. Reeves, too, know his character so well that if asked to explain, they will “be very obtuse.” They rather just show the audience what happened to the ex-assassin, rather than explain it through words.
Reeves is very hands-on when it comes to the development of his character. Stahelski shared that he and the actor talked about how to create an empathetic character who is not necessarily good (there are no real good guys in John Wick’s world). “How do you make good bag guys versus bad bad guys,” he asked.
END OF THE TRILOGY, BEGINNING OF A TV SERIES
He also hinted that the story of John Wick might be coming to an end. The director stated that they want the third movie to finish the trilogy, but comments that the decision is up to the studio.
He also shared that Lionsgate is looking at possibly developing a spin-off television series that expands on the underground world of these assassins. Stahelski assured fans that there are a lot of talented, capable people working on the project. Rest assured, it has the potential to be as good as the movie source. He also said that he would like to be involved in the television series if it does get made.
On whether it will be a prequel or a sequel, the director cannot say right now. He said there are plenty of ideas being considered right now, but the studio is yet to decide.
STAYING TRUE TO ITS ROOTS
Stehlski also reiterated that they have no intention to go bigger in the third installment regardless of the success of the first two movies and the bigger budget. He pointed out that while he enjoyed watching big, blockbuster action movies, they tend to become a little predictable.
“If you had to guess what the next big superhero set-pieces were going to be, would you say skyscrapers? Would you see giant spaceship? You would be within 95 percent accurate just guessing at those,” he said. John Wick: Chapter 3 is a little more mysterious and exciting because viewers have no idea what it would bring to the table next.
John Wick: Chapter 2 recorded a $166.8 million gross at the worldwide box office. The hit action movie is now available on Digital HD, DVD, and Blu-Ray.
pristinepastel said: Hey, i know you like the first mummy, but what about the mummy returns?
I HAVE RETURNED…after like a day.
but what the people want, the people get!
RIGHT SO THE MUMMY RETURNS!
aka the only sequel that is 1000% just as good as the first one. like holy shit.
ten years later and we meet our heroes again. rick and evie are happily married, going on adventures, and evie’s dream of becoming a respected scholar has come true and they’ve made a tiny human!
the only unrealistic part being that they only had one kid, i mean they are still all over each other ten years later and you’re telling me they only had ONE kid.
okay. sure jan.
but boy o’ boy is that one kid awesome!
alex o’connell. this kid is literally:
50% evie super-klutz-genius.
50% rick screams-at-things-that-are-illogical-to-scream-at.
50% uncle jonathan’s sheer dumb luck and wit.
10% i’m really bad at math.
you get the point. HE’S GREAT. also the actor passed on harry potter because, JUST LIKE ME, the mummy 1999 was his favorite movie and he just HAD to be in the sequel. alex is just such a smart-ass little shit. that much like his mother, accidentally brings about the apocalypse by opening something he shouldn’t have:
ARDETH BAY TIME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. he has a much bigger role in this one. GOD BLESS.(because he was supposed to die in the first one, but test audiences loved him as much as we do, so they kept his fine ass around) he still looks prettier than everyone and is still so done with white people once again.
*after almost being killed on he bus* “this was my first bus ride.” *after realizing they’re gonna make him fly again* “why can’t you people ever keep your feet on the ground?”
he’s just such an awesome A+ friend goals, because while he probably needs to go be with other medjai to prepare for battle against anubis’ army (yikes), he stays with the fam to rescue alex. it wasn’t even much of a thought for him really, rick and evie just batted their eyelashes and he was like: *sighs* “these white people are always messing my shit up, but they are my white people.”
jonathan: still beautifully the same as ever. witty, clever, and would do anything for his family.
“be quiet alex! if there’s going to be any hysterics, they’ll come from me!”
“if you see anyone come running out screaming, it’s just me.”
when he boasts about being a good shot and ardeth is internally like “i’m gonna die.” THEN HE SAVES ARDETH. hell yeah.
rick: he’s still screaming at things. BUT IN DAD MODE. he’s the ultimate dad.
“you, lighten up. you, big trouble. you, get in the car.” *sweetly* “honey, what are you doing, these guys don’t use doors.” “knowing my brother-in-law, he probably deserves whatever you’re about to do to him, but this is my house and i have certain rules about snakes and dismemberment.”
evie: still a super-klutz nerd, but with C O N F I D E N C E. little baby librarian is now a honey badger of ASK ME IF I GIVE A FUCK! and also a re-incarnated princess
“no harm ever came from opening a chest.”
rick: “i swear that kid gets more and more like you every day.” evelyn: “you mean more attractive, sweet and devilishly charming?”
we meet izzy, another one of rick’s ex boyfriends, who is a much more reliable mode of transportation than previously mentioned murder buses.
imhotep: still emo. still wants to make out with his gf.
anck su namun/meela: hella good villain. she bomb af and 100% wants to take over the world. amazing. she actually has like a really cool role this time too!!! like so much screen time.
the rock…i mean the scorpion king, he’s another emo villain with goofy cgi rendering and like 4 million terrible made-for-TV spin off movies that you are lying if you haven’t watched at least one of them and felt that utter disappointment. but who cares the rock is pretty. and this was his first acting role and the reason we have him where he is today.
thank you mummy returns for giving the world actor rock johnson #blessed
THE ROMANCE AGAIN:
normal action movie sequel romance: same guy. different girl. repeat of first movie’s romance. hehehehhehehehhEHEHEHEHHEHH.
not here bitch.
rick and evie’s love has only grown stronger. they still bicker like old ladies at bingo night. the still look at each other like they hung the moon. they’re still disgusting jonathan because they CANNOT KEEP THEIR HANDS TO THEMSELVES. one kid my ass. they still support each other and protect each other like crazy. they love each other so much and it’s so healthy and pure and there is some good in this world mr. frodo.
the bottom line here is. what’s the point of watching the mummy 1999 if you aren’t going to watch the mummy returns immediately after?
