Stranger Things and Faces of Death star Dacre Montgomery is joining the cast of the anticipated John Wick spinoff, Caine, focusing on Donnie Yen’s blind assassin from John Wick: Chapter 4. Montgomery’s role is currently undisclosed, leaving fans to speculate about his participation.
We know little about Caine so far. However, we know Donnie Yen will reprise his stand-out role from John Wick: Chapter 4, alongside Rina Sawayama, who reprises her role as Akira Shimazu from the fast-paced action film series. Akira arrives in the John Wick series as the concierge of the Osaka Continental Hotel, run by her father, Koji Shimazu.
There is no logline for Caine at this time, but the upcoming film is said to continue Yen’s story arc following the events of John Wick: Chapter 4, as Caine has been freed from his obligations to The High Table.
In a statement, Yen said, “What drew me to Caine is the contradiction. He carries love, responsibility, and sacrifice in a world built on consequence. That creates a very different kind of action hero.”
He continued, “This film is an opportunity to push the genre forward. My goal is to create the most definitive martial arts-infused action film ever made, one that honors what audiences love about John Wick while bringing a new emotional depth and visual language to the story. As both director and actor, I’m excited to shape this chapter in a way that reflects everything I’ve learned over decades in action cinema, while building something that feels entirely new.”
Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, added, “It became clear after John Wick: Chapter 4 that fans were particularly intrigued by Caine, which made his story the most natural next chapter of the franchise. It’s truly exciting to be embarking on a strategic partnership with Donnie—he has the vision to bring to life this extension of the John Wick universe in a way that’s authentic to his own signature style, flair, and expertise as a filmmaker.”
