Ian McShane Reflects on Lance Reddick's Legacy

Ian McShane expressed deep sadness over the loss of his John Wick co-star Lance Reddick, who passed away in March 2023 at age 60 from heart disease, a cause later disputed by his family. Speaking at a screening commemorating the 10th anniversary of John Wick, McShane highlighted their strong on-screen partnership, particularly in the upcoming film Ballerina, where Reddick will appear for the last time as Charon. McShane fondly recalled their moments together, stating that Reddick's relationship with his character was distinct from that with Keanu Reeves' role. Reddick's contributions to the John Wick franchise, as well as his notable roles in series like The Wire and Fringe, were celebrated by both fans and colleagues, including Reeves and director Chad Stahelski, who dedicated John Wick: Chapter 4 to him. The anticipation for Ballerina, set to release in June 2025, adds a bittersweet note to the legacy left by Reddick. The event also hinted at upcoming expansions of the John Wick universe, including a documentary and new series.
