26 Mar – It was revealed that the “John Wick” spinoff about the highly trained martial artist and a relentless killer-for-hire Caine will begin filming next month.
The untitled project, penned by Mattson Tomlin of “Terminator Zero” fame, will follow Caine’s story in the events post “John Wick: Chapter 4,” which was released in 2023.
Speaking about the project recently at the BMW Hong Kong Derby, Donnie said that it would be his first time directing and acting in the same project.

“I’m very grateful to the company for giving me the opportunity to showcase my abilities. I’ll try my best to see which actors I can put in. I think we should work together to do something for the film industry,” he said, when asked if he would cast Hong Kong actors in the project.
Donnie also revealed that the movie will be shot in Europe and then move to Hong Kong at the end of June.
Adam Fogelson, chair, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said, “It became clear after ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ that fans were particularly intrigued by Caine, which made his story the most natural next chapter of the franchise. It’s truly exciting to be embarking on a strategic partnership with Donnie. He has the vision to bring to life this extension of the John Wick universe in a way that’s authentic to his own signature style, flair, and expertise as a filmmaker.”
