10. An A-List Villain

If there's one area the John Wick movies are arguably lacking, it's in serving up a name actor as the central villain for Wick to inevitably dismantle.

One can forgive the first film for not being able to rope in top-shelf talent, but now that we're two movies deep, both of which have been huge critical and commercial successes, there's not really any excuse.

One of the more interesting ideas bandied around by fans has been to introduce Tom Cruise as the ultimate big bad, essentially reprising his Vincent character from Collateral, leading to an awesome final showdown. If Cruise is happy to star in seeming tripe like The Mummy, why not John Wick?

The ultimate Big Bad would benefit from bringing some major star power to the table, and whether it's Cruise or someone on his caliber of stardom, it'd help ensure the trilogy went out in unforgettable fashion.
