Fresh off of its biggest cast yet, John Wick director Chad Stahelski is sharing some of his dream castings for the franchise, namely Aquaman‘s Jason Momoa and Peaky Blinders‘ Cillian Murphy. The Keanu Reeves-led franchise has proven to be one of the genre’s most consistently successful of the past decade, with the recently released John Wick: Chapter 4 scoring the best reviews yet and setting a new record for the best Thursday opening night box office. While the future of the franchise remains unknown, that’s not stopping ideas about further sequels.
In honor of the film’s release, Screen Rant spoke exclusively with Chad Stahelski to discuss John Wick: Chapter 4. When asked about his thoughts on who he’d like to bring into the action franchise, the director made a list of dream castings, namely that of Cillian Murphy and Jason Momoa, among others. See what Stahelski said exclusively in the comments and video below:
So many people. So many! Keanu and I have a whole board of people we’d love to work with. If you told me Cillian Murphy was going to be in a John Wick movie, I’d be like, “Oh my God!” If you told me Jackie Chan or Jet Li, or Jason Statham? If you said Stallone was going to make a cameo! I’m a little bit old school, so the dream list is, “Clint Eastwood is going to make an appearance.” Christian Bale, Chris Hemsworth, or Hugh Jackman; Matt Damon and all these people that I love. We’re friends with Jason Momoa, and I can’t imagine a better enticement than Jason Momoa coming in and giving you that look! Like, come on. These are all people we’d love to [work with]. Whether that’s in John Wick or another project, I’m a fanboy just like everybody else. If I could work with those people, I would.
