For now, take this news with a grain of salt as there is no direct quote, but there are reports that Samuel L. Jackson desperately wants a role in the inevitable John Wick: Chapter 3 as apparently he is a huge fan of the gun-fu action ballet franchise.
The rumor comes from journalist Simon Thompson who said on his latest Meet the Movie Press podcast: “He actually was less interested in that than he was in an idea he floated with me, and he’s floated it with me twice now. He wants to do, over a Nick Fury movie, John Wick 3 with Laurence Fishburne and Keanu Reeves. He absolutely loves the John Wick movies. He wants in. He doesn’t want in, he wants in with a capital IN. Seriously, I think he will do whatever he needs to do to get in on John Wick 3.”
John Wick: Chaper 2 was met with universal commercial and critical acclaim, and is currently still in theaters. You can read our review here.
