Animated ‘John Wick’ Prequel in the Works From ‘Ultraman: Rising’ Director, Keanu Reeves Expected to Return

Yeah, we’re thinking he’s back.
“John Wick” will return – but perhaps not in the way that you’d expect. An animated “John Wick” prequel is on the way from “Ultraman: Rising” director Shannon Tindle. Keanu Reeves is expected to return to voice the character in the animated feature.
The announcement was made from the CinemaCon stage by Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
This animated “John Wick” will recount the “impossible task” that Wick had to complete to get out from under the High Table and marry his wife Helen (played in the films by Bridget Moynahan). It will be written by Vanessa Taylor, who was nominated for an Oscar for her work with Guillermo del Toro on “The Shape of Water.”
The animated feature will be produced by Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, 87Eleven Entertainment’s Chad Stahelski and Reeves. 87Eleven Entertainment...
