John Wick director Chad Stahelski may be best known for his assassin actioners and epic fight scenes, but he's got his sights set on something a little more sci-fi: Star Wars.
"I'm a Star Wars guy," Stahelski told the Happy Sad Confused podcast. "The first Star Wars changed my life path. Maybe someday out there, Disney if you're listening, hit me in a couple of years. I have a couple of takes for Star Wars. I'd take a swing at that, see if Disney could survive me."
Joining a pre-existing franchise would mean the stunt coordinator-turned-filmmaker would have to give up some of the freedom he's come to enjoy helming the Keanu Reeves-fronted action series, though. "I've been asked a lot about, 'Why do you do John Wicks? Don't you want to try something else?'" Stahelski added.
"Yes, of course I do, but given the choice I've had and the parameters that were presented to me, as far as those opportunities went, I felt like I could do more and bring something more, and do more of what I want, and do the fights and the anime and the action more my way by doing [John Wick]. Why work within somebody else's parameters of what I feel to be a duel or mythology when I can create?"
