in the franchise john wick there is a cast established in international cinema. In large part, that is what has helped make the film a success at the box office around the world. In addition to the mind-blowing action sequences, performances by Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Hiroyuki Sanada, Willem Dafoe, Bill Skarsgård, Rina Sawayama, Halle Berry, and Donnie Yen have also captivated multiple audiences.
For this reason, the director of the films, Chad Stahelski, has revealed that he would like to continue this trend of dream casts for future installments located in the universe of the dog-loving anti-hero.
The filmmaker addressed the issue of his ideal cast during an interview with The Direct. Stahelski said there is a “huge list” of people he would like to collaborate with. Something that is notorious is that many names on that list have already been seen in the credits of action films.
The first thing that came to mind was cillian murphy. I’m a huge Peaky Blinders fan. So, you know, I think Cillian would be a perfect fit. Colin Farrel it’s fantastic. Charlize Theron, when she did Atomic, I saw her and I thought: ‘My God, I have to work with this woman. She is fantastic ‘. Work with michelle yeoh in a commercial years ago, and since then I’ve been dying for [volver a] work with her. I’m a big fan.”

But the director did not only mention names of interpreters who have appeared in tapes of a single genre and format. In addition to talking about people who have been in action movies and on the big screen, the idea of working with people who have made superhero movies and participated in productions for the small screen also came up. These were his words:
“Interestingly, after the release of Lovecraft Country, jurnee smollett [quien también apareció en Aves de presa] he was one of those people. They are people who, for some reason, fit into the world [de John Wick]. And that’s always good”.
To this, he added:
“There are so many, I mean, there are so many great people out there, man. Yeah Robert Downey sit in my chair right here, I’d find a way [de involucrarlo]. Peter DinklageI was a big fan of his in Game of Thrones. [También soy fan de] Sean Bean. Some of those guys look magical to me. I would die to have a chance with any of them.”

If any of these actresses or actors become part of the cast of the saga john wick, it would be an interesting thing to see, but it would become even more significant if they were integrated into the project as Oscar winner Halle Berry did. This recounted Stahelski:
“I got a call from Halle Berry. I had just been told, ‘Halle Berry wants to be in John Wick. She’s going to go see you.’ Asked [a Halle]: ‘When? And she said, ‘Today.’ And I said, ‘OK.’ And Halle literally banged on the door and said, ‘I’m going to be in your movie. And I told him: ‘I still don’t have a script’. She said, ‘Write the script that I appear in.’ And I said, ‘Sure. That’s great’. And the next thing I knew, I had Halle Berry, which is great.”
There will be john wick 5 or some other spin-off? This is what the producers say.
