We chat with JohnWick4 director Chad Stahelski about the original plan for the Bowery King, building the John Wick world with Keanu Reeves, and how Donnie Yen's influence changed his character Caine:
John Wick returns for an explosive new adventure targeting the High Table in John Wick: Chapter 4. Picking up after the events of Parabellum, John Wick has found a new path to follow straight to the High Table leadership in the hopes of gaining his freedom. However, when a dangerous new individual, the Marquis Vincent de Gramont, is sent by the High Table to stop the Baba Yaga, old friends become foes.
Screen Rant spoke with director Chad Stahelski about John Wick Chapter 4. He explained why it is important to step away from the John Wick world between movies and revealed the Bowery King was meant to be a small part in John Wick 2. Stahelski also shares how Donnie Yen got involved and how much he influenced his character, Caine.
Me and my stunt team we go back to the gym, we start working on it, and we just have fun. And then somebody will come up with the idea, we'll get on YouTube, or we start meeting all our other stunt martial art friends, and we're like, "Oh, sambo or capoeira, or let's use combat tomahawk." So it's just about research and fun. So you've got to go on the playground a little bit. When you're working all the time, there's no time for playground.
That gives you a little bit of hope because you still have interests. The Bowery King was supposed to be this small little thing in the second one, and we enjoyed it so much that we all our ideas kept coming. Let's keep riffing. Let's let's use the Bowery King. And that's always fun when you can still continually expand your own ideas. I think that's interesting.
