The John Wick universe is one that’s very ripe for spinoff exploration. And that’s exactly what we are getting with the spinoff prequel film Ballerina as well as a sequel film about Caine. It’s pretty easy to see why Caine is getting his own film. We met this blind High Table assassin in John Wick 4 who takes on his former friend to keep his daughter safe. At the end of the film, Caine and his daughter are free from the High Table, however, a post-credits scene shows Akira coming for him.
What will go down in Caine’s John Wick spinoff? Here’s everything we know about the film so far.
Title
Right now, the film is using the working title Caine. That could change as it gets closer to completion and release.
Caine’s Plot
We know that Caine will have to face Akira, the daughter of Koji whom Caine killed during a major fight at the Osaka Continental. He did spare Akira’s life but she’s hellbent on revenge and could possibly try to harm his daughter. We may also discover more about his life while moving his story forward. Variety reports that the Caine spinoff film will be a “Hong Kong-style action thriller.”
Behind the Scenes
Donnie Yen will both star in, executive produce, and direct the John Wick spinoff Caine film. It will be produced by Basil Iwanyk, Chad Stahelski, and Erica Lee, all of whom worked on the franchise’s previous installments. The writer is The Batman – Part II’s Mattson Tomlin. The film is set to start production soon, perhaps over the summer of 2025.
Caine’s Cast
Of course, Donnie Yen will portray Caine. We can assume that Aimée Kwan will also return as Caine’s daughter Mia. Rina Sawayama will reprise her role as the sword-wielding Akira as an antagonist.
“John Wick: Chapter 4 introduced us to so many compelling, original characters, including Akira. We’re beyond thrilled to have Rina coming back to the franchise—Caine and Akira have unfinished business, and this next chapter in their stories will be explosive,” said Adam Fogelson, chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
We will have to see what new characters we meet and if any others from the franchise will return.
Caine’s Release Date
There is currently no release date for Caine.
