I loved the first movie but nah, I'm good.

I agree. Some movies work best as stand-alone. There's no point in a sequel because at the end John has really said goodbye to that world, and I think a prequel risks undermining the world building. One of the reasons the movie works so well is because everything about its world and John's past is given to us in small incomplete pieces that you put together with your imagination to create a full picture. We don't need to see how John pulled off the 'impossible job', we don't need to see him kill three guys with a pen, because those stories exist to explain to us current John. Showing all these past events would do nothing for the character at all.

If there is a sequel, then I would really like to see how impossible his last job was with the Russian for him to get out originally.

So you have Wick doing his hitman thing + him meeting his wife + his decision on to get out + finish with the last impossible job.

Thus setting up a third and final film




John Wick vs Isis after they behead one of his dawgs :shaq:
