It seems like Winston actor Ian McShane is okay spilling blood on The Continental–the Peacock show, that is. In a new interview, the John Wick star plainly states his distaste for the creation of the three-episode series that focuses on his character’s origins.
Speaking with MovieWeb, McShane says he “wouldn’t watch it.” He adds: “I have no intentions–nobody–I don’t think Keanu [Reeves] watched it, neither has Chad [Stahelski, director of the John Wick movies]. It had nothing to do with our movies. It’s just a question of a TV company cashing in on the series and taking the option to [air?]. They never asked us about anything, so why would I be interested in seeing it?”
The Continental premiered in September on Peacock, and you can watch the action-packed opening sequence to the John Wick spin-off show. GameSpot talked to director Albert Hughes about how The Continental expands the franchise in a way the movies can’t.
