How New John Wick 4 Character Turned Out Better Than Expected Despite Losing Jackie Chan

John Wick: Chapter 4 director Chad Stahelski reveals that he originally envisioned Jackie Chan as one of the new characters, but the actor who ended up with the role made the character even better. Released earlier this year to rave reviews, the fourth installment in the hit action franchise sees Keanu Reeves return as the titular hitman for even more balletic action. To complement Wick’s journey in the new sequel, the John Wick: Chapter 4 cast includes a host of newcomers, including Donnie Yen as blind assassin Caine.
