John Wick WILL be back!
Watch Or Video of the Week
Director Chad Stahelski is taking us on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride through the world of John Wick, and it’s a wild journey you won’t want to miss! Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the exciting details of what’s in store for John Wick 5 and beyond.
So, you might remember that after the heart-pounding action of John Wick: Chapter 4, we were left wondering whether our beloved assassin was going to hang up his guns and call it a day.
Well, fear not, my friends, because Chad Stahelski is here to set the record straight in a chat with Inverse.
Stahelski, overflowing with creativity, spilled the beans to Inverse about his secret stash of notebooks, filled to the brim with ideas for not just John Wick 5, but 6, 7, 8, and even 9! It’s like he’s sitting on a goldmine of action-packed awesomeness, just waiting for the right moment to strike.
Keanu Reeves Begged to Be “Definitively Killed Off” in John Wick: Chapter 4
Stahelski isn’t about to pull a fast one and rush out a half-baked John Wick movie just to cash in on the franchise’s popularity. No siree! He’s got integrity, my friends.
He wants a killer story to back it up. So, while he’s got all these ideas, he’s not willing to just hit the go button without the perfect narrative in place.
And what about our main man, Keanu Reeves? Well, don’t you worry, because Keanu’s as eager as ever to don that slick suit and become John Wick again, but there’s a catch. He’s not going to do it for a mediocre plot. Keanu’s got standards, and he’ll be back in action only if the story is as mind-blowing as his headshots.
Stahelski and Keanu are keeping the door wide open for John Wick 5 and beyond. They’re like two eager adventurers, ready to embark on a quest, but only if the treasure map is top-notch. And guess what? The studio is totally on board with this thrilling journey.
The studio isn’t just rubbing their hands together for the cash, folks. They’re genuinely pumped to see what magic Stahelski and Keanu can conjure up. They’re not just interested in another sequel; they’re intrigued by the idea of exploring the vast and uncharted territories of the John Wick universe.
Think of it as a treasure hunt for new characters and storylines that haven’t yet graced the silver screen. There are side characters and fresh faces, ready to take center stage in their own epic tales. It’s like they’re unveiling a whole new world within the John Wick universe, and it’s going to be a blast!
John Wick 5 isn’t a done deal just yet, but it’s hanging in the balance, waiting for that perfect story to swoop in and grab our attention.
And while we’re at it, get ready for some spin-offs and ancillary adventures that will make your heart race faster than a bullet from John Wick’s gun.

Home Alone Sequel Starring Macaulay Culkin Is In The Works
Looks like Macaulay Culkin could be back as Kevin!
Home Alone and Home Alone 2 are two of the most legendary Christmas films, which resulted in several lacklustre sequels, primarily due to the absence of Macaulay Culkin who gave his all in the role of Kevin.

However, according to the movie website GiantFreakingRobotThe most recent Home Alone installment was Home Sweet Home Alone, the sixth film in the franchise and starring Archie Yates as Max Mercer.

The world does introduce some older characters, such as Devin Raytray as Officer Buzz McCallister, and even reveals that Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin operates a security firm which makes sense after battling against two burglars in both movies!
Watch the Home Alone Trailer Below:
Joe Pesci, who portrayed one of the original films’ wet bandits, stated a few months ago that he would be prepared to return to the Home Alone world, and he has also been increasing his acting roles recently.
Macaulay Culkin’s return to Home Alone would be the best Christmas present we could ask for this year and we just hope that these rumours are true and we hear about a confirmation date soon!
Until then you bet we’ll be watching both Home Alone movies this Christmas and every Christmas after that!

21 Actors From The Harry Potter Films Who Are No Longer With Us
So many great actors from the series are no longer with us
Calling all fellow wizards and witches, it’s time to raise our wands and remember the magical stars who’ve left us from the Harry Potter universe. Since the very first Harry Potter movie graced our screens in 2001 with “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,” we’ve laughed, cried, and cheered alongside a fantastic cast of characters. But, my friends, the bittersweet truth is that not all of them are still with us.
We’ve had to bid farewell to 21 talented actors who brought the wizarding world to life. From the mighty Professor Snape, played by the unforgettable Alan Rickman, to the wise Professor Dumbledore portrayed by the legendary Richard Harris. Even the gentle giant Hagrid, portrayed by Robbie Coltrane, has ventured into the great beyond.
But it’s not just the headlining heroes who have left us. The magic of Harry Potter extends to the supporting cast as well. Elizabeth Spriggs, who played the enchanting Fat Lady guarding Gryffindor Tower, and Verne Troyer, our beloved Griphook, have also passed away.
1) Richard Harris – Albus Dumbledore
Prior to Michael Gambon taking over for the remaining six Harry Potter films, Harris played the grandfatherly headmaster in the first two films and many fans were delighted with the casting as he looked as so many fans imagined!
2) Alan Rickman – Severus Snape
Fans of Harry Potter were very saddened by Severus Snape’s loss, but Alan Rickman’s death was by far a bigger shock. Tragically, the actor passed away in January 2016 after receiving a confidential diagnosis of terminal cancer.
3) Robert Knox – Marcus Belby
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Knox, an English actor, played Marcus Belby. Tragically, Knox was fatally stabbed outside a London pub after getting involved in a fight to defend his brother.

8) Eric Sykes – Frank Bryce
Frank Bryce, a Muggle who lived in Little Hangleton, the same community which the Riddle family also called home, was portrayed by comic actor Eric Sykes. He worked as their gardener and eventually was the main suspect in the death of the family, but viewers will know he was innocent.
9) Richard Griffiths – (Uncle) Vernon Dursley
Richard Griffiths, a renowned British actor of theatre and cinema recognised for performances in The History Boys, Withnail and I, and Chariots of Fire, was the only person who could have brought Harry’s Uncle Vernon to life and fans loved to loathe him!
10) David Ryall – Elphias Doge
In the 2010 film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Ryall took over Peter Cartwright’s role as Elphias Doge, a member of the Order of the Phoenix but sadly passed away, 2014’s Christmas Day.
11) Dave Legeno – Fenrir Greyback

18) Helen McCrory – Narcissa Malfoy
Before her tragic passing in 2021, McCrory had amassed a large following because to her performances in films like Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter series and Polly in Peaky Blinders.

21) Michael Gambon – Albus Dumbledore (2)
Sadly the news of Michael Gambon’s passing is so sudden and yet he contributed to 6 of the Harry Potter films after taking over from Richard Harris in which he showed a feistier side to the headmaster and fans came to love him. Not to mention his most famous quote ‘Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light’
As fans of the wizarding world, we’ll always cherish the enchanting moments these actors gifted us. Let’s hold onto those memories, rewatch the films, and keep their magic alive in our hearts. After all, “Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home,” as J.K. Rowling once said. And so will the enchanting performances of these dearly departed actors in the world of Harry Potter.
