Bill Skarsgard is in talks for the upcoming John Wick film.
The fourth installment in the Lionsgate franchise will see Keanu Reeves return as a formerly retired hitman who finds himself stripped of the protection from a shadowy international assassins guild.
Chad Stahelski is returning to direct from a script by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch.
The plan is to film the fourth and fifth John Wick features back-to-back. John Wick 4 is now scheduled for a Memorial Day weekend release on May 27, 2022, after being pushed back a year from May 21, 2021, due to the pandemic. (The first three movies have generated over $579 million worldwide.)
Skarsgard’s upcoming projects include Naked Singularity, starring John Boyega and Olivia Cooke, and period adventure thriller Emperor.
Collider was the first to report the news.
