Regardless of the film’s conclusion, Joe Drake, president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, has confirmed that development is already in progress for the upcoming installment. In a recent interview with Total Film, Keanu Reeves expressed, “The only reason we’ve had a chance to make these movies is that people have liked what we have done. So I think we have to wait and see how the audience responds to it. Hopefully they’ll like it.”
In the meantime, a new spinoff film from the John Wick universe, called Ballerina, is currently in development. Ana de Armas is set to take on the leading role in this exciting project.

Östlund, renowned for his acclaimed satirical comedies The Square (2017) and Triangle of Sadness (2022), both of which garnered prestigious awards at the Cannes Film Festival, brings his unique vision to this project. This dark comedy will also feature a talented cast, including Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Woody Harrelson, and Nicholas Braun.
BRZRKR: The Live-Action Film Adaptation
1. Keanu Reeves is deeply involved in the live-action adaptation of BRZRKR, a project that began as a comic book series he co-created with Matt Kindt. He expressed his excitement about collaborating with Netflix, noting their openness to producing an R-rated narrative. “My goal is not to simply recreate the comic book on screen; while we will maintain key elements like the main character and his unique principles, I envision exploring new dimensions as well. We’re in discussions with various animation studios to expand our creative possibilities. Ultimately, I hope to draw inspiration and influence from this process,” he shared with Collider back in 2021.
Rally Car
The production of Rally Car has been in a state of uncertainty for several years now. Initially announced in 2017, there have been no updates regarding the cast or crew since that time. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film narrates the journey of a NASCAR driver who rejuvenates his career by participating in an international race through China.
Discover additional insights into Keanu’s book
In addition to his participation in numerous projects, Keanu has also penned a book called The Book of Elsewhere, which was launched this past July. Collaborating with renowned sci-fi writer China Miéville, this novel marks the inaugural entry into the BRZRKR universe, a creative endeavor spearheaded by the actor himself.
In a candid interview with The New York Times, Keanu reflected on the journey of writing his book and expressed his contemplations on mortality. He stated, “Perhaps I struggle to grasp the violence that permeates our world. It’s perplexing that, despite our shared awareness of our mortality, we resort to harming one another over matters that, in hindsight, may not hold significant value. I find myself pondering the state of our world—how did we arrive at this point, and who are we as a society?”
Keanu Reeves is not just a talented actor; he is also the proud owner of a motorcycle company named Arch. In addition to this venture, he co-founded a publishing house called X Artists’ Books with his partner, Alexandra Grant. Their collaboration has led to the release of notable works, including the adult picture book “Ode to Happiness” in 2011 and “Shadows” in 2016.
