The threequel has been rumoured to be in the works for years now, although Reeves – speaking on The Graham Norton Show – has confirmed that it is definitely in the pipeline.
The first film, which starred Reeves and Alex Winter as metalhead slackers who travel through time, was released in 1989. The follow-up came in 1989.
“The writers have story and we’re trying to make it,” he told Norton.
“They would be in their 50s now and that makes me laugh!”
He added: “I was asked to play air guitar the other day – it’s sort of cool that it’s still alive.”
Promoting John Wick: Chapter Two, he also revealed that he changed his name at the start of his career – only to change it back again.
“No one liked my name,” he recalled. “ On the day I arrived my manager said, ‘Welcome, we want to change your name’.
“They were like, ‘What’s a Keanu?’ So I became K.C. Reeves, which is awful and I would be late for auditions because I didn’t recognise K.C. Reeves as me.
“It was just horrible. It lasted a couple of months and then I became me again.”
The director of John Wick 2, Chad Stahelski, was yesterday reported to have expressed interest in the next James Bond movie.
John Wick: Chapter 2 is out in the UK on February 17.
