Exclusive: Chad Stahelski explains how John Wick: Chapter 4 was always intended to be a goodbye for John Wick and what inspired that decision.
Chad Stahelski reveals that John Wick: Chapter 4 was always intended to be a goodbye for the lead character. He explained that he and Reeves weren't satisfied with how John Wick's story ended in the third movie, so their goal for the fourth was to deliver a satisfying conclusion to this character's journey after developing his story and this world for so many years.
Chad Stahelski: Keanu and I both felt like we didn't do our best. We didn't send John Wick off to our best, and we felt a little broken up about that. We felt like we could have done better. So, we started thinking about, "There's only one way; we go back and do a fourth one." Because in film history lucky enough to get three good ones, you get four is almost unheard of no one's ever really done it.
It wasn't until really about Christmas of that year where we took a break. We brought in a friend to help take one more pass at it, and it kind of clicked. It made me sad at the end, and we could hear the music and knew what we were gonna do, and that's when it kind of made sense. All this was our plan, but nothing really felt right 'til you read it, and you could see it. Me and Keanu both looked up and smiled. You could feel yourself getting choked up.
