“No, I wouldn’t watch it. I have no intentions – nobody – I don’t think Keanu [Reeves] watched it, neither has Chad [Stahelski]. It had nothing to do with our movies,” McShane told MovieWeb. “It’s just a question of a TV company cashing in on the series and taking the option to [air?]. They never asked us about anything so why would I be interested in seeing it? I’m afraid their arrogance in getting the show out is beyond me so I wish them well. I think it’s come and gone, hasn’t it?”
Ian McShane Joins Ballerina:
McShane may have no interest in The Continental, but he will be involved in another John Wick spinoff. Ballerina is a women-led spinoff from Lionsgate, and the events of John Wick: Chapter 4 have led fans to believe the movie might also be a prequel.
Previously, it was announced that Keanu Reeves will be appearing in Ballerina as John Wick along with Lance Reddick as Charon. However, both John and Charon died in John Wick: Chapter 4. Reddick has since passed away in real life, but it’s believed he will still be seen in the film. While John and Charon could be a part of the film in a flashback capacity, we’re inclined to believe the movie takes place before the events of the John Wick films. In addition to Reeves and Reddick, it has also been confirmed that McShane will be reprising his role as Winston in the film, and Anjelica Huston will be returning as The Director from John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
