John Wick Directors Sign On To Choreograph Scenes For The Matrix 4

All eyes are on two film productions slated for release next year: John Wick 4 and The Matrix 4.

Both star Keanu Reeves, both have armies of fans, both have incredible action sequences, both are expected to drop around May.

They have a lot in common and they're about to have another similar attribute.

Directors for the fourth instalment to the John Wick franchise, Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, have agreed to help choreograph some of the scenes in the upcoming Matrix flick.

The duo will also be getting some of the actors and stunt doubles physically prepared for what's expected to be an explosive and intense movie.

Stahelski told Collider: "They asked us to help out with the choreography and some of the physical training for the guys.

"I'm helping out a little bit for a sequence, I think Dave's helping out for a sequence.

"Lana's [Wachowski] come back with a lot of love to have a pseudo-family reunion, so that's been a lot of fun. It's been good to see a lot of the crew members again. We just finished doing a sequence in San Francisco before the pandemic started."

Many are worried about whether the new Matrix film will ruin a trilogy that was neatly wrapped up.

However, Chad insists people will love it and it will be 'coming back with a vengeance'.

Sadly though, it seems like all this production going into the Wachowski project has meant the release date for the John Wick 4 film might be delayed.

In the same interview, Chad Stahelski explained that because of the coronavirus, all production schedules have been thrown out of whack.

The John Wick and Matrix films were meant to debut on the same weekend of May 21 next year, leading many to get excited.

However Mr Stahelski warns that it might not happen anymore.

He told Collider: "Between how much we want to expand the John Wick - let's just call it a 'franchise', I guess - and the pandemic, I couldn't tell you a release date for the next one.

"I mean, Matrix was only four weeks in when this all happened. So, Keanu's gotta go finish his commitment up on The Matrix, which is a big deal and which I think will probably take him until the end of the year.

"Then we have to go into our prep mode and the we'll start. So release dates, I'm sure with every production from Dave's stuff to our stuff, who knows right now."

Never say never, aye?
