JOHN WICK Director Shares His Wish List of Big Stars That He Wants to Bring Into the Franchise
John Wick director Chad Stahelski has a wish list of big actors that he would like to bring into the action franchise as it continues. This is a fun list, and it would be pretty cool if he actually managed to bring some of them on board in future installments of the franchise.
Stahelski shared this list of actors during a recent interview with The Direct in which he says:
"There's a huge list, but just the first thing that came to mind was Cillian Murphy. I'm a big Peaky Blinders fan. So, you know, I just think Cillian would fit right in. Colin Farrell is fantastic. Charlize Theron when she did Atomic Blonde, I saw that and went, ‘Oh my God, I gotta work with this woman. She's awesome.' I worked with Michelle Yeoh way back on a commercial years ago, and I've been dying to work with her ever since. I'm such a huge fan."
Stahelski continued to list actors he wants to bring in mentioning Birds of Prey star Jurnee Smollett, Robert Downey Jr., Peter Dinklage, and Sean Bean. He said: "Some of those guys I think are magical. I’d die for a chance with any of those people."
I have no doubt that Stahleski will make a valiant attempt to bring these actors into the franchise and I hope that he succeeds! It’d be so interesting to see what kinds of characters these actors would play in the action-packed franchise!
