Today brings more John Wick: Chapter 4 casting news, with Deadline reporting that Clancy Brown (The Mortuary Collection, “Dexter”) will be making his way into the hit franchise!
“I have been a fan of Clancy Brown’s since I can remember. To have him be a part of this project is an honor. He will make a perfect addition to the World of John Wick!” returning director Chad Stahelski (John Wick 1-3) said in a statement shared by Deadline.
Lionsgate is currently set to release Chapter 4 on May 27, 2022.
Keanu Reeves is of course coming back for John Wick: Chapter 4, with the cast thus far also including singer Rina Sawayama, Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Bill Skarsgård (It, It: Chapter Two, “Castle Rock”), and Shamier Anderson (Stowaway). Most recently, Hiroyuki Sanada (Mortal Kombat) has also signed on to star.
Lance Reddick and Ian McShane will both be back for Chapter 4.
The John Wick franchise has been incredibly successful and profitable for Lionsgate, with Chapter 3 pulling in $326 million worldwide back in 2019 – to date, a franchise best.
Chapter 4 will presumably pick up right after the events of Parabellum, with a bruised, broken (but still alive) John Wick taking the fight to the deadliest organization in the world.
