The 'Old Ways' might be even older than we thought.
The Big Picture Now that The Continental: From the World of John Wick has opened its doors to Peacock subscribers, it has also opened the doors to a potentially too-big universe for the John Wick franchise. It's remarkable that the character of John Wick has evolved from a cult-favorite protagonist into an internationally known action hero in a relatively short period of time.
This universe is big, and it just keeps getting bigger, as both the Ballerina spin-off and John Wick: Chapter 5 are in active development and will no doubt expand this cinematic world even more. The expansiveness is admirable, but perhaps things are getting a bit too crowded. If this relatively fledgling cinematic universe isn't careful, it could share the fate of other similar concepts and crumble under its weight.
The Continental: From the World of John Wick's Adjudicator is introduced with a brief shot of her signature Adjudicator coin, much like her eventual successor in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. The premiere episode of the miniseries sees the menacing enforcer in an abandoned building while one of her minions brutally beats Frankie's accomplice . It's a typical interrogation as far as crime stories go, but the Adjudicator offers some pretty interesting information to the audience.
Where to even start with the possibilities. Imagine a swashbuckling pirate tale where a crew of scallywags scour the seas for a treasure trove of the franchise's signature gold coming. What about a full-blown 1800s gunslinger film set in the American Wild West, where a vengeful gunslinger hunts down a dastardly High Table villain who wronged them? Perhaps a 1920s Chicago-set gangster film where a mobster is forced to honor the marker of a rival crime family.
