For someone who is not a big fan of action movies, it is a glaring contradiction to say that I love the John Wick franchise. We all have complexities and layers. Honestly, I happened to love only the third film from the franchise. The first film is good but it is not that action heavy and I didn’t “feel” the action in it. Like my favorite action films are the ones where I feel the action in my gut, for example – Oldboy and Nobody. That kind of feeling and thrill was only provided by chapter three and I absolutely loved it. In my opinion, the fourth chapter is the weakest installment of the franchise however, Keanu Reeves is awesome in all of them. In fact, some would even argue, the franchise’s success is entirely because of him. So, considering John Wick Chapter Four’s ending one might think what is Keanu Reeves’ next film? Well, it looks like he doesn’t plan to leave Chad Stahelski (Director of the John Wick franchise) alone anytime soon as he is set to star in his next film The Pursuit.
Keanu Reeves Will Star In Chad Stahelski’s Next Film – The Pursuit!
All the Keanu Reeves fans can rejoice as the actor is all set to star in another action-packed film with director Chad Stahelski. This dynamic duo have already proved their might more than once after giving one hit after the other. According to Giant Freaking Robot, The Pursuit will see John Wick playing a skilled thief who is hired to steal a mysterious and valuable artifact. Although, things take a turn when that artifact ends up giving Reeves’ character superpowers. What these powers are? Well, that’s a mystery for now but it’s safe to say that they will come in handy when Reeves’ character finds himself in some intense and elaborate fight scenes.
With this film, Reeves and Stahelski will be collaborating together for the eighth time. The relationship that began on the sets of The Matrix as Stahelski was Reeves’ stunt double and stunt coordinator in the next two Matrix films. After which, Reeves was directed by Stahelski in the John Wick franchise. This is truly a fairytale success story. Considering the track record of both Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski it is no surprise that Lionsgate has agreed to produce the film. They also produced the John Wick films. It will be interesting to see both Chad and Keanu out of the John Wick world to try something new. I’m really looking forward to The Pursuit.
