John Wick 2will have plenty of competition on June 02, 2025, going up against two high-profile projects. Also opening on that day is Universal’s steamy sequelFifty Shades Darkerand Warner Bros.‘The Lego MoviespinoffThe LEGO Batman Movie. With this weekend filled with three movies from established franchises, it could make this frame a very interesting one to watch at the box office, to see which movie will come out on top. While the conventional wisdom would suggest that the family-friendlyLEGO Batman Moviewould triumph over its R-rated competitors, stranger things have happened at the box office.
While we only have a few weeks left untilJohn Wick: Chapter 2hits theaters, the filmmakers and producers are already hard at work onJohn Wick 3. DirectorChad Stahelskiteased during a New York Comic Con interview that Lionsgate has asked him to come up with ideas for the third installment. The director teased thatIan McShane’s Winston andLance Reddick’s Charon, the manager of the Continental Hotel, will be a “big part” of the sequel, which likely means fans will learn even more about the Continental Hotel and this underworld of assassins. While we wait for more onJohn Wick 3, take a look at this TV spot forJohn Wick 2below.
