In an exciting reveal, director Chad Stahelski announced that the John Wick franchise will be expanding with a Japanese anime. During an appearance on The Discourse podcast, Stahelski shared details about the highly anticipated project.
The director expressed his enthusiasm for this new creative direction, while also highlighting his collaboration with Japanese talent to make the anime. “We are really excited. We are making Japanese animation because I love this genre so much. The anime project will help us be able to create interesting stories that can only be achieved with The anime and TV show genre will expand the world.” , Stahelski shared.
According to Stahelski, in the world of anime, world-building and action are still quite separate. However, the director sought to combine both aspects, giving fans a unique experience .”I think, especially for television, world-building and action are still pretty separate. But what if you tried to combine them and give fans both? Listen, I also like intrigue, but after six seasons, I want something that happens on TV shows. So trying to bring that to TV would be really interesting.” he added.
This TV project isn’t John Wick’s first foray outside of film, as the recently released The Continental received mixed reviews. When asked about this project, Stahelski revealed that there will be a next season.
Currently, his creative focus is more on developing the John Wick anime, which promises great things for the project. Now, executives must ensure they choose the perfect overseas studio to handle the new John Wick project.
