With Ballerina being the first spin off (set for release on 6th June 6 2025) the next John Wick spin off film will be for Donnie Yen and his blind assassin character, Caine and is all part of a recently announced deal with Lionsgate to expand the John Wick universe and the project has a screenplay being written by Robert Askins the Tony-nominated writer of the play Hand to God, who has also worked on such series as The Umbrella Academy and The Son.
The untitled project looks set to start shooting in Hong Kong in 2025 with the franchise expanding film yet to appoint a director. This film will directly follow the events of John Wick 4 as Caine has been freed from his obligations to the High Table. The film has seen the veteran Hong Kong action hero, pushing back against what he claimed were Asian stereotypes in the original script for John Wick 4 and director Chad Stahelski relented changing the both characters name and clothes.
Yen has said, ‘“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,” Yen said in a statement.’
