‘John Wick 4’ changes the “formula” according to its director, Chad Stahelski, and will have a different villain from the others

‘John Wick’ hit the big screen in 2014. Since that first episode, with each new film of the assassin known as Baba Yaga, More and more people are getting into ‘The Matrix’ star Keanu Reeves’ newest action vehicle.

Chad Stahelski, who has been tasked with commanding the saga from the beginning, says he’s proud to have found “a formula that works” with ‘John Wick’. However, in a new interview for Empire, the director confesses it he is overwhelmed by the change of direction that the saga has taken as it has become bigger and bigger: “It’s kind of scary after three movies […] But you have to put the cure aside and say… screw it, we’re not going to do the same thing again.”Stahelski commented.

This change of “formula” emphasized by the director will expand the storylines of “John Wick 4”. This is the stories will be developed on the basis of secondary charactersnot only on the figure of Wick as happens in the three previous episodes: “Now, in the fourth film, we have different storylines”clarified the director commenting on his final feeling with the project: “The movie is different, it feels more epic”.

Nine years after the first of the films, this change of direction is a risky leap, but one that can lead the saga on the right track. Despite the fact that the fourth chapter, conceived together with screenwriters Michael Finch (‘Predators’) and Shay Hatten (‘Rebel Moon’), will have Reeves share the spotlight with other characters, this does not mean that we will have less action at the hands of the protagonist . Reeves himself revealed it in an interview with Total Film: “‘John Wick 4’ has more action than any other John Wick film, which is saying something”.
