John Wick director Chad Stahelski talks fourth movie and bringing Carrie-Ann Moss and Hugo Weaving into the franchise

I would be lying if  didn’t say I was hoping we’d see Carrie-Ann Moss and Hugo Weaving joining the John Wick franchise to team up with Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne, their old Matrix co-stars.

But it may not actually happen according to director of John Wick 1-2, Chad Stahelski who confirms that at the minute he is still attached to direct: “You know, it’s a little early to say, and I would hate to lead you astray, but it’s a project that I will remain involved in, in some capacity, probably till my career is long over, so that’s good.”

But, as far as getting Moss and Weaving back, it seems he’s not prepared to use do the expected fan service: “Keanu [Reeves] and I talk a lot about where we want to go,” he says.

“We didn’t finish John Wick 3 and have this great big plan of how to go into Chapter 4. It’s something we’re constantly thinking about and we try not to force things. I certainly don’t want to include a cast member to try to get somebody in as a gag and work a story around that.”

While I like the idea of them just making up each chapter as it comes, I find it hard to believe that there’s not an overarching plan. But does that plan involved Moss and Weaving? “If we create these great characters and you know, in my head, it makes sense to put Carrie-Anne in there or Hugo Weaving or any of our Matrix compadres, and it works and if they’re interested, that’s always a plus because they’re friends and I think they’re all excellent performers. So it’s yet-to-be-seen.”

Yeah, I reckon we’ll see them in the franchise at some stage.

What say you all?
