This esteemed figure in Hollywood has been bestowed with a unique honor as he is now the proud recipient of the Lance Reddick Legacy Award.</p> <p>I had the privilege of receiving the Lance Reddick Legacy Award at the 52nd Saturn Awards in Los Angeles on February 2. This honor is given to recognize an individual's character and career accomplishments, and I feel truly humbled to be its recipient this year. Following Keanu Reeves, who won it last year for his work in the John Wick franchise, I am now the second consecutive actor from that series to receive this prestigious award. The Saturn Awards' official Instagram page paid tribute to my achievement.</p><p>The Saturn Awards established the Lance Reddick Memorial Award to honor Reddick, who tragically passed away at the age of 60 in the spring of 2023, just a week before the release of <em>John Wick: Chapter 4</em>. Since his passing, Reddick's colleagues have shared heartwarming tributes to him, with Fishburne emphasizing his warm and friendly nature, while Reeves highlighted how he played an essential role in making fans fall in love with the <em>John Wick</em> series since it premiered in 2014.</p><p>Fans will get another chance to see Reddick as the New York Continental's concierge character, Charon, in the upcoming spinoff of John Wick, titled Ballerina. This film takes place between chapters 3 and 4, and it tells the story of a ballerina-turned-assassin named Eve Macarro (played by Ana de Armas) who is on a destructive path of revenge after her father's death. She trains under the assassin tradition of the Ruska Roma to take down those responsible. Charon and owner of the New York Continental, Winston Scott (portrayed by Ian McShane), aid Rooney in her mission by providing protection within their hotel. The spinoff also stars Keanu Reeves, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, and Norman Reedus.</p><img class="contentimg" src="https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/john-wick-1-three.PNG"/><img class="contentimg" src="https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/john-wick-2.PNG"/><img class="contentimg" src="https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/laurence-fishburne-in-john-wick-chapter-4.jpg"/><img class="contentimg" src="https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/john-wick-chapter-4-bowery-king-laurence-fishburne-1.jpg"/><img class="contentimg" src="https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/john-wick-chapter-4-cast.jpg"/><p>The John Wick franchise is growing at Lionsgate, with various spin-offs and an anime project in the works under the supervision of franchise director Chad Stahelski. Among these developments, there are whispers about a possible Bowery King spinoff series, as franchise producer Basil Iwanyk expresses interest in exploring this possibility, given that Fishburne is famed for playing the Bowery King in the John Wick film series, a former crime boss who was left for dead by the High Table and later became an ally of John Wick. Additionally, there are rumors about Fishburne potentially reprising his role in John Wick 5, which is currently being developed at Lionsgate.</p><p>Upcoming for Fishburne is a reprisal of his role as Bill Foster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Five finale titled "Thunderbolts". Previously, Fishburne portrayed this character on the big screen in the MCU film "Ant-Man and the Wasp", and provided the voice for Bill in the animated series, "What If...?". Additionally, Fishburne will make an appearance in "The Witcher" Season 4, with his recent roles including "Megalopolis" and "Transformers One".</p></body></html>
