Keanu Reeves Once Wrote Lance Reddick a Letter Crediting Him for Making People ‘Love John Wick,’ Says Late Actor Made the Character ‘Okay’ for Viewers


Keanu Reeves credits Lance Reddick's performance in the "John Wick" movies as the reason audiences fell in love with the title character.

Reeves headlines the “John Wick” action franchise, but Reddick had the key supporting role of Charon in the first four movies. After Reddick’s passing last March, Reeves and “John Wick: Chapter 4” director Chad Stahelski said the film is “dedicated to his loving memory.” The movie is currently nominated for a SAG award for best performance by a stunt ensemble. Lionsgate has already announced “John Wick 5” is in development, although it’s anyone’s guess what’s in store as Reeves’ character was seemingly killed off at the end of “Chapter 4.”
