It is unclear whether Stahelski will also decide to direct the project. Stahelski is currently attached to direct and produce several high-profile projects. This includes the Highlander remake starring Henry Cavill. He is also producing the first John Wick spinoff film, Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas, which is set to hit theaters on June 6, 2025.
"The story follows a group of assassins who are stranded on an estate in the English countryside when one of their own is murdered. Now it's up to the remaining group to solve the death," the synopsis reads.
The Professionals, described as a mash-up of the 1995 whodunnit classic Clue and the 2014 Keanu Reeves film John Wick, will be written by stuntman-turned-writer Madison Turner (The Dark Knight). It is based on Hunter Perot's first draft. The film will be produced by Alex Young, Jason Spitz, Jason Michael Berman and Jordan Moldo, with Perot, Josh Glick and David Bernon serving as executive producers.
