John Wick Sequel in Development
It hasn't even opened in the UK yet but the directors are already talking about a sequel that can out the original film!
Directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch confirmed their plans in an interview with Movies.com:

Stahelski said “We’re in development right now…we have ideas for days and without blinking twice we know we can outdo the action from the original. 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.”

and Leitch added:

“You gotta go on a journey with the guy and have to like the guy.”
Incredible action is all well and good but I'm glad to see them putting the emphasis on story and a likeable character, that's exactly what made Die Hard a masterpiece.

John Wick opens in the UK on the 10th of April.
