Scott Adkins is in negotiations to join the cast of John Wick 4, with Keanu Reeves returning to reprise the role of Wick. Donnie Yen, Rina Sawayama and Shamier Anderson are also on board. Chad Stahelski returns as director.

Scott Adkins is currently filming Netflix's next action comedy Day Shift, opposite Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco and Meagan Good. He also starred opposite Yen in the 2019 final installment of the hit IP Man.

John Wick: Chapter 4 was first announced two years ago immediately after the record-setting opening weekend of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, which went on to gross over $300 million worldwide. The fourth installment will feature the return of Reeves as the eponymous assassin, who at the end of the last film was betrayed by Ian McShane's Winston and was last seen suffering from multiple injuries. It will again be directed by Chad Stahelski from a screenplay co-written by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch, who is taking over from franchise creator Derek Kolstad.

The John Wick sequel will also include a few familiar faces, including Laurence Fishburne, who will be reprising his role of The Bowery King. The actor will soon be heading to Berlin to film his scenes, and teased earlier this month that the script is "really, really cool" as it goes much deeper than the prior films. "It's much deeper in terms of the code of the assassin and the relationship that he has with one character in particular", Fishburne said. John Wick: Chapter 4 is currently slated to hit theaters on May 27, 2022.
