Good news fans of JOHN WICK, Keanu Reeves will be reprising his role as a legendary former hitman on a revenge mission in a sequel to the hit action movie.
Lionsgate and Thunder Road pictures have confirmed that Keanu Reeves will start shooting JOHN WICK 2 this autumn and the original co-directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski are also returning for the sequel to their hit action thriller, with Derek Kolstad penning the script for this one too.
In JOHN WICK, Reeves is a former hitman who comes out of retirement after an obnoxious rich kid (Alfie Allen) kills the beagle puppy left to him by his late wife.Â
JOHN WICK was a surprise runaway hit, which grossed over $78 million (£51 million) at the global box office, a rather impressive return from its $20 million (£13 million) budget.Â
The sequel was first announced back in May by Lionsgate’s Jason Constantine: “With such tremendous fan and critical support for John Wick, we knew that there was still so much more of this story to tell. We are thrilled that Keanu, David and Chad have re-teamed with us and promise to bring audiences even more excitement the second time around.”
JOHN WICKÂ also stars Michael Nyqvist, John Leguizamo, Adrianne Palicki and Ian McShane.
There has been no other casting announcements for the sequel and a release date has not yet been confirmed.Â
