ADKINS IN JOHN WICK 4

The cast of the much-needed John Wick 4 is getting better, with Deadline reporting on Tuesday that Scott Adkins is in negotiations to join.  So we may not get Wesley Snipes but one door closes and another opens…

It will again be directed by Chad Stahelski from a screenplay co-written by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch, following the last entry which grossed over $300 million.  It is not known what kind of role Scott would play, but the good money would be on a villain, since Donnie Yen has already been cast as an ally of the titular character.

John Wick 4 is produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Stahelski with Reeves and Louise Rosner as executive producers. Production is scheduled to begin this summer in France, Germany, and Japan.
