9 John Wick Crossovers You Didn’t Know You Needed

John Wick: Call Of The Warrior

Crossover: The Warriors (1979)

This is more high-concept, but with vision, could be a neat idea.

Imagine if we fast forward a few years into the John Wick timeline, and the lawlessness of NYC means that gangs form like in The Warriors. Ian McShane’s hotel still stands, as does the assassin coven Reeves belongs to. Different factions hire assassins to do their bidding on the streets, or use them as muscle for protection. Everything is now a power-play at territories, with mercenary talents going to the highest bidder.

From here, it’s all up in the air. Maybe you adapt the original story in which the Warriors have to navigate their way through Manhattan/Brooklyn, with Wick as their escort. Or maybe there’s a different story here without old characters. In either case, assassins are free agents who make it even more impossible to stay alive on rival turf. But, given Wick’s conscience, maybe the Warriors are once again wronged and he wants to see justice carried out – thus bridging an alliance that lights NYC afire with bullets, explosions and dead Baseball Furies.

Given how easily Wick is able to defeat assassins in public during his own Walter Hill-esque trek through NYC in John Wick: Chapter 2, it just makes sense. Marry the two words and let anarchy reign.
