Chad Stahelski, the director of the John Wick franchise, recently shared some of his dream castings for the action film series. Among the actors he mentioned are Jason Momoa and Cillian Murphy.

The John Wick franchise, led by Keanu Reeves, has been consistently successful over the past decade. The recently released John Wick: Chapter 4 has received the best reviews yet and broke records for the best Thursday opening night box office. Despite the future of the franchise being unknown, Stahelski is not short of ideas for future sequels.

Jason Momoa has frequently shown his skills in the action field on both film and TV. He played Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones, Baba Voss in See, and Aquaman in the DC Universe. As one of the biggest names in the genre, Momoa seems like a perfect fit for the John Wick franchise. It remains to be seen where his allegiances would lie in the film series.

Momoa is set to play the villain Dante Reyes in the upcoming Fast X, the son of Fast Five villain Hernan Reyes seeking revenge for his father’s death. He has expressed his excitement for the role, stating that he plays a sadistic killer with a flamboyant personality.

The John Wick franchise has seamlessly transformed several actors into unique roles, including allies and foes for Keanu Reeves’ assassin. With Momoa expressing his desire to play against type roles, it would be interesting to see him lend his talents to a future John Wick movie if one is produced.
