The “John Wick” film franchise is expanding. A new spinoff will revolve around Donnie Yen’s blind assassin Caine, who made his debut in ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ last year.
As per the report, The spinoff will “continue Yen’s story arc following the events of ‘John Wick: Chapter 4,’ as Caine has been freed from his obligations to the High Table.”
The screenplay is being written by Robert Askins, who has written for Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy,” AMC’s “The Son,” and was nominated for a 2015 Tony for his play “Hand to God.”
The Caine spinoff is being produced under “John Wick” director Chad Stahelski’s development agreement with Lionsgate to supervise the action franchise.
In his role with the franchise, Yen stated, “Working on ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ was an extraordinary experience.The reason these films resonate so deeply is because, like myself, Chad, Basil, and Erica push themselves to create action, fights, and stunts that are not only thrilling, inventive and artistic, but also expressive of character, story, and emotion. Caine is an incredible character with a haunted past, and I am excited to return to the role.”
The next instalment in the “John Wick” universe is “Ballerina,” which stars Ana de Armas.
