With multiple spin-offs either airing or planned since John Wick: Chapter 4, franchise producer Basil Iwanyk has expressed his interest in creating a series centered around the eponymous hitman’s partner-in-crime.In an interview with Screen Rant, Iwanyk teased the prospect of creating a spin-off chronicling Laurence Fishburne’s mysterious character, the Bowery King. A long-time associate of Wick, Bowery King has become a fan favorite of franchise viewers, and Iwanyk believes there’s legitimacy and intrigue in a potential film or series based on the character — one who he believes has an interesting backstory. “I like the Bowery King a lot, and I like that world,” he said. “We scratched the surface of who he is and who these men are and women, and why they do what they do. I think there’s something really cool about these people who make conscious choices to be in the shadows. And be the people that we look through every day when we walk down the street, or we go, ‘Oh, this person wants money from me?’ I think that’s a world that we haven’t touched yet, which I think could be really cool and really edgy and rough, dark. I don’t know, that is something that I’ve always been really intrigued with.”The Bowery King is one of the John Wick franchise’s most fascinating characters; a former underground crime boss whom the High Table left for dead, leading him to align with Wick. Fishburne’s character first appeared in John Wick: Chapter 2 and has been ever-present throughout the franchise ever since. Iwanyk further underlined the potential of exploring the Bowery King through a spin-off production. “All the Bowery King group, they leave an impression on every movie that they’re in. Because there’s also the guys in The Continental, they’re like knights or samurai, it’s very formal. And the Bowery King people are crazy and fun and informal. And I think that’s a great… I don’t know, I have no idea what that world is. We’re making this up as we go along. But man, that world intrigues me a lot,” he said.John Wick Director Teases Future TV and Anime Series in Development
