Four films, a prequel series titled The Continental, and an upcoming spinoff called Ballerina have cemented John Wick as a surefire blockbuster hit, making it difficult to envision a time when this franchise wasn’t a box office success. What makes this achievement all the more remarkable is its daring debut that defied an unspoken Hollywood convention by killing a puppy.

The film might have failed or been dismissed as just a direct-to-video revenge flick for revenge. However, it resonated deeply instead. A film that started out as a sleek, genre production soon morphed into one of the most cherished and impactful action movie series of the last ten years.

Director Chad Stahelski, along with a team of dedicated creators, recently gathered to talk about the genesis of this hit, its meteoric rise to success, and the close calls it had before gracing our screens.
