John Wick co-director David Leitch says Bruce Willis was initially cast as the titular hitman.
"We were first exposed to the script by our manager at the time, Kelly McCormick, who’s now my wife and producer," Leitch explained to The Hollywood Reporter. "She had introduced us to Basil Iwanyk and Peter Lawson at Basil’s company [Thunder Road] to maybe do second unit work on that script. So that was the first time we read it, and I think Bruce Willis might’ve been attached at that time."
