The popular John Wick universe is growing again, with now heading into the anime world for a prequel. Fans of Keanu Reeves’ assassin character have something interesting to look forward to, as a new anime film is in development. This prequel will explore John Wick’s life before he left his dangerous career to live a peaceful, married life, answering some of the biggest questions from the series.
One of the main mysteries in the John Wick movies is the Impossible Task – a mission so tough that it led Wick to retire. While the task has only been briefly mentioned in the films, the anime will likely reveal more about this important part of his past. The prequel aims to dive deep into Wick’s life as an assassin, explaining what pushed him to leave that world behind.
Chad Stahelski, the visionary behind the John Wick movies, confirmed that the anime prequel is already being developed. Stahelski said the anime format will let the creators explore new ideas and action scenes that are harder to show in live-action films. “We can get a bit crazier and have more fun with the anime,” he shared.
While the anime prequel is in progress, there’s no official release date yet. As fans wait for more details, they can catch all the John Wick movies on Lionsgate Play. While other projects like the spin-off Ballerina are also in the works with a release planned for 2025.
This anime will offer fans new insights into John Wick’s backstory, adding more depth to the character and the growing universe of John Wick.
