“I love when the people ask, ‘Is it the same universe?’” Naishuller recently told IndieWire. “I’m like, ‘Alright, I can’t say anything. But what you could do is look at which studio made which movie and then think about the reality of doing a crossover.’ That’s all I’ll say. I mean, everything’s possible. Stranger things have definitely happened, but… yeah.”
Even though filmmakers like Kolstad and producer David Leitch have been involved in both franchises, Nobody is a movie distributed by Universal while the John Wick franchise is a Lionsgate property. That said, we’ve known studios have worked together whenever beneficial for all involved — you only need to take a look at Sony and Marvel Studios’ sharing of Spider-Man for that confirmation.
When we spoke with Kolstad earlier this month, he wasn’t hot on the idea of a major crossover — instead, the scribe said he’d rather see the two pass each other by in an airport before going their separate ways.
“I think that’s much more interesting because at a certain point, when worlds collide, as a guy who loves these kinds of movies, it always feels desperate at that point,” the writer told ComicBook.com. “And in none of these things do I ever want to find ourselves in a desperate place. I would rather it be a little bit of a wink and a nod to each other and the audience.”
He added, “You know, honestly, they’re so different. Growing up, I loved Narnia, Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, and Dungeons and Dragons. They’re very, very different creatures but they’re very, very, very similar. Right? I think these are two very separate things that if they were to ever converge at a certain point, it would be the two of them walking through an airport and just giving each other a nod.”
Nobody is now in theaters while all three John Wick features are available wherever movies are sold.
