John Wick is getting an animated origin story. Collider reports that Lionsgate has approved an animated John Wick prequel, with Keanu Reeves voicing the character

The film will show how Wick completed the Impossible Task that allowed him to leave his old life, retire and marry Helen. Fans have wondered about it since the very first film

Shannon Tindle, director of Ultraman Rising, is directing, and Ryan and Kaz Firpo, who wrote Eternals, are writing. Reeves and Chad Stahelski are executive producers, along with Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee of Thunder Road

No release date has been given, and the film will not explain the ending of Chapter 4. Reeves has also signed for John Wick 5, and Donnie Yen's spin off Caine has finished filming

The Impossible Task is one of the most talked about mysteries in the series, so finally seeing it is exciting. Animation allows action sequences that would be impossible in live action. Having Reeves voice the character keeps it feeling authentic

Are you excited for an animated John Wick? And what do you think the Impossible Task involved?

Keanu voicing Wick keeps it authentic. Nobody else could play him. Even just his voice carries the character. Good decision

Animated spin offs of live action series do not always work. Some feel cheap

This team has the talent to make it special, though. Fingers crossed
