The original script of John Wick had John Wick killing only three people, but he ended up killing at least 80

The John Wick series starring Keanu Reeves can be said to be one of the few action-packed movies in Hollywood recently. The first film kicked off with explosive action scenes, and the sequel also shined. Every adventure of the protagonist John Wick is subversive, contains a lot of violent elements, and the overall combination of action and scenes is excellent, but the John Wick series was not set to contain a lot of violent elements from the beginning.

Chad Stahelski, director of John Wick, recently revealed in an interview that the original script of the first film set John Wick to kill only three people. The original three deaths were about 77 fewer than the number of deaths in the final film (which means that the protagonist killed at least 80 people in the film). The number of deaths in the original script was reduced by more than 95% compared to the final film.

Director Chad Stahelski recently explained in an interview with Comicbook why the finished film of "John Wick" was so different from the original script. He said: "I feel like Keanu sent it to me on a Friday, and I probably read the script that day and then thought about it over the weekend. This situation is more controllable. I think there were only three deaths in the original script, two of which died in car accidents. This death toll is certainly very, very small, and (my expectations) were a little different. After I read the original script, I always had this idea about Greek mythology, how to tell a more absurd story and make a surreal action movie so that it would not be so entrenched and so dark. I just wanted to shoot something different."

"John Wick 4" is expected to be filmed in early 2021. It has been scheduled for May 27, 2022, which is one year later than originally planned due to the epidemic, and will be filmed together with "John Wick 5".
