00:00Fans of the John Wick series get ready for an exciting addition.
00:04A prequel anime is officially in the works, expanding the already rich John Wick universe.
00:10Known for its action-packed films, this franchise is also diving into the world of anime,
00:15with creator Chad Stahelski confirming the project's development.
00:22This upcoming anime will focus on John Wick's life before he became the retired assassin we know.
00:28One of the central mysteries of the series is the impossible task,
00:32which pushed Wick into retirement. While details are still under wraps,
00:37Stahelski hinted that the anime will dwell into the crucial moment.
00:41It's meant to be fun, he said, emphasising that this different medium allows more creativity.
00:49The anime will not just be an extension of the films, it promises to explore deeper aspects
00:55of John Wick's character. Fans are eager to learn why he chose to leave the assassin life
01:00behind for a quieter, married existence. With four successful films already released
01:05and a spin-off, Ballerina, on the way, this anime offers fresh perspectives on Wick's story.
01:14Currently, there's no confirmation release date for the anime,
01:17but it is in early production stages. Alongside anime, there are also plans for a TV show
01:24and a new spin-off featuring Donnie Yen's character Kane.
