The John Wick franchise, known for its adrenaline-pumping action and intricate underworld, is set to expand with multiple spinoff movies in development. As Lionsgate gears up for more Wickverse adventures, here are five spinoffs we’re eagerly anticipating:
Ballerina
Ana de Armas takes center stage in this spinoff set between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4 that is set to release next year in June. Portraying an assassin seeking vengeance for her family, Ana’s Ballerina offers a fresh perspective on the Wickiverse. The film promises to blend Keanu Reeves’ Wick with new characters and intense action sequences.
Bowery King
While not officially confirmed, there’s buzz about a spinoff featuring Laurence Fishburne’s enigmatic character, Bowery King. A prequel or sequel could delve into his rise to power, exploring his analog tactics in a digital world. Fishburne’s charismatic performance makes this potential spinoff an intriguing proposition.
Sofia Al-Azwar
Halle Berry’s Sofia made a powerful impact in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. A spinoff exploring Sofia’s past and future within the Wickiverse could answer lingering questions and showcase more of Berry’s dynamic performance. With a debt to repay and a history with Wick, Sofia’s story holds ample potential.
Akira
Introduced in John Wick: Chapter 4, Akira, portrayed by Rina Sawayama, quickly became a fan favorite. The post-credits scene suggests a revenge-driven narrative that could lead to a compelling spinoff. With producer Erica Lee expressing interest, fans are hopeful for a standalone Akira adventure.
Caine
Donnie Yen’s blind assassin, Caine, brought a new layer of complexity to John Wick: Chapter 4. A spinoff could unravel Caine’s backstory, exploring the reasons behind his blindness and the peril his daughter faces. With Yen’s martial arts expertise, a Caine-centric movie promises top-notch action and a deeper dive into the Wickiverse.
As the Wickiverse continues to expand, these potential spinoffs offer exciting opportunities to explore diverse characters, intricate storylines, and, of course, heart-pounding action.
