I'm curious to see how Chad does outside the Wick Films. I'm guessing we won't see this one for a while though since Wick 4 and 5 are filming back to back.

John Wick's Chad Stahelski on Larger Than Life Action Scenes, Upcoming Projects, and More

Immediate Plans
You mentioned Highlander, and then hot off the presses is Arcana. What could you tell us about Aracana? That's completely an original property, right?

Yeah. I believe it was Mike Finch and the guys put that together. I feel bad. I'm going to kind of hack the plot together real quick. If you had, I don't know, maybe John Wick, Fight Club, and magic all put together I guess. It's pretty cool, intense action. I hate to say magic, but preternatural and supernatural elements all rolled into a magical world of different factions. It's edgy and tough, and they did a good job coming up with this whole different kind of reality, which I really liked.
