7 Potential Sequels to John Wick


John Wick is a great action movie. It's ALMOST the best action film of 2014. The Raid 2, Edge of Tomorrow and Captain America: The Winter Soldier happened but it's almost there!

Well the creators of John Wick are working on plans for a sequel (please dear God make this happen). Here's what they had to say:

“We have ideas for days and without blinking twice we know we can outdo the action from the original,” Stahelski said. “It’s the matter of story and how much you like the character. That’s always the most important. If there’s great action but you have a character that no one likes and doesn’t have charisma you’re not going to watch it. Look at any great action star, whether it’s Harrison Ford or Liam Neeson or Robert Downey Jr., pick a name, you love the guy first. Good action, bad action, you just love them in action. So we want to make sure we have a story and a character that everybody loves and then we’ll dress it with action that we promise will be awesome.”
That's all they need? No problem! This tweet from a twitter pal helped give me an idea on how to help
Now in the spirit of giving (and essentially short-form fanfic) here are several ideas for a potential John Wick sequel to help these creative guys get the ball rolling:

John Wick 2: Electric Babayaga Boogaloo
John Wick returns home from the events of the previous film, only to discover that the dog he rescued from the pound has a computer chip embedded in its skin. The chip contains information from a government conspiracy involving the truth about 9/11* and Wick discovers his dog has magic blood! Wick and his dog team up to kick conspirator's asses and Gwen Stacy dies because it happened in the comics.
*written by Orci & Kurtzman).

John Wick's Bogus Journey: Genisys
John Wick of the future travels through time to find himself in the past and warn him of the impending doom that will happen if they let his dog die. The two Wick's travel to the past to team up with the John Wick from the original movie timeline and the three John Wick characters blast their way through more mobsters before letting his dog get killed. I'm thinking they're back.

Wick-Ass
John Wick takes on the porn industry by going undercover as a porn star to expose the seedy work conditions of a drug smuggling ring. It ends with him saving the world through porn and convincing people that sex workers are more than just objects.

John Wick a Vengeance Hard
John Wick's dog gets taken hostage on Christmas by a bunch of European terrorists who threaten to take all dogs in the world as revenge for Wick killing everyone in the first film. John Wick takes it upon himself to save the world's dogs.

John Wick: Blade Runner
This one is much simpler because it's a shot-for-shot remake of Blade Runner's final cut. In fact, just digitally compose Keanu into the shots where Harrison Ford is and call it a day.

John Wick of the Dead
It's Halloween and John Wick is celebrating by taking his dog trick or treating. He starts to notice the zombie costumes are put together well this year. Too well... That's when it's revealed they are real zombies! John Wick must escape his city with his dog and make his way to the Continental Hotel where all the assassins make a final stand against the horde of zombies while protecting John Wick's dog.

Jurassic Wick
John Wick is called to help rescue a dog that is stuck on a deserted island. It's the President's dog. But when Wick gets to the island with his team of Expendables, he discovers that life... finds a way. John Wick fist fights a velociraptor and rides a triceratops in a final confrontation with a T-Rex.
