A new update arrives for John Wick and Highlander, with Lionsgate taking a big step forward with both franchises. Released in 2016, the first John Wick movie ushered in a new era for action cinema, introducing Keanu Reeves as the eponymous assassin, with Chad Stahelski in the director’s chair. Stahelski would return for each subsequent sequel and is considered a big reason for the franchise’s success, and he is now poised to direct a Highlander reboot starring Henry Cavill.
Per a new report from Deadline, Stahelski has now inked a new deal with Lionsgate in what marks a big development for the John Wick franchise and Highlander. Stahelski and his team at 87Eleven will oversee the creative aspects of both franchise, with the filmmaker set to design a “comprehensive multi-platform content strategy” for both properties.
