To some surprise, John Wick has quickly become one of the most adored action series in recent history, Keanu Reeves bringing another iconic hero to life.

Following this year’s ecstatically received Chapter Two, Liongate has pushed forward with the third instalment which now has a release date: 17 May 2019.

Speaking earlier this year with The Independent, director Chad Stahelski confirmed himself and scriptwriter Derek Kolstad are involved, hinting the sequel may be John Wick’s final outing.

“We are going to put in something about the High Table, how that all works,” he said. “We’re going to put in something about where John comes from, 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.”

Asked whether the film would complete a trilogy, Stahelski said “In our minds, yes” adding that a TV show is also in development.

Meanwhile, David Leitch — who co-directed the first John Wick — has been working on the Deadpool sequel, having recently released Atomic Blonde.
