In the next three sequels, Keanu Reeves reprised his role as John Wick, and the character is further drawn into the ultra-violent underworld while dealing with deadly assassins determined to take his life. Its spinoff Ballerina takes place between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4. The story revolves around a ballerina assassin, Eve Macarro (played by Ana de Armas), who seeks vengeance for her father’s death.
Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the first film features Bob Odenkirk (of Better Call Saul fame) in the role of Hutch Mansell, a neglected father and husband who lives a dull life. But one night, after thieves break into his home, it triggers in him the highly trained killer he once was. He tries to get even with the intruders, which sparks a chain of violent events, and he crosses paths with a dangerous Russian gangster.
Directed by Timo Tjahjanto, Nobody 2 is set four years after his explosive showdown with the Russian mob. In the sequel, an overworked Hutch goes on a family vacation to the small tourist town of Plummerville. But the fun-filled getaway takes a deadly turn when he crosses paths with a corrupt theme-park operator, a shady sheriff, and a powerful crime boss.
