Shocker: they’re making John Wick 3.

May 17, 2019.  Spoiler warning: it’s not actually a shocker. John Wick 2 performed better than John Wick, and the critics were all pleasantly surprised to see how much It Did Not Suck.

And then there’s this: “We want, not so much to go bigger on the third one, but to show you more of the intricacies of the world… I think it would be a mistake budget wise and creatively to just go big and blow up a freeway. That’s not our gig.” If John Wick 3 actually goes for a self-contained trilogy that actually resolves Wick’s character arc in an internally self-consistent (and likely permanent) way then we’ll have gotten something rather nice out of the deal.  I don’t want to make it sound like I hate popcorn movies; I love ’em. But it’s always nice to get a story.

Besides, this way we might get a cool video game out of it. You know my arguments on this topic already, I’m sure.
