Chad Stahelski has directed all four John Wick movies, but his upcoming reboot of an old franchise could be an exciting change of direction for him.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Chad Stahelski's upcoming reboot of the Highlander franchise could be even better than John Wick: Chapter 5. After many years in the stunt world, Stahelski made his directorial debut alongside fellow stunt professional David Leitch on 2014's action hit John Wick, with Stahelski solo-directing the next three movies in the series.
With the premise of Highlander predicated on immortal warriors clashing with swords and other weaponry, Stahelski's predilection for bringing scores of martial artists into the John Wick movies is a no-brainer for his take on Highlander. Martial arts stars like those already seen in the John Wick franchise would be perfect for Highlander, with Stahelski also having a vast pool of martial arts stars not yet seen in the John Wick series to also bring aboard.
Curiously, John Wick and Highlander also share one significant parallel in each having a designated area in which its respective characters are forbidden to do battle. For Highlander's immortals, they are barred from engaging in combat on holy ground, while the Continental hotel chain is the one area where assassins in the John Wick franchise are barred from conducting "business.
