Keanu Reeves as John Wick holding a Remington 1875
John Wick director Chad Stahelski has given a development update on the status of John Wick 5. The John Wick franchise began in 2014 with Stahelski's action-revenge movie John Wick, starring Keanu Reeves in the titular role as a former assassin brought out of retirement after his puppy is killed. The movie was an unexpected box office success, grossing $86 million, and spawning three direct sequels, John Wick: Chapter 2, John Wick 3 - Parabellum, and John Wick: Chapter 4.
The honest truth is you don’t. You simply don’t. There’s no topping what we did. That’s the end. That’s the deal. That’s what we found closure for. Look, sometimes, we’ll keep things in development. My creative team and I can’t stop thinking about Wick. Sometimes, we’ll use development as an exercise, but is there an opportunity to do ? Of course, there is, whether it’s for money or for creativity.
So we have some really good ideas, and it would not be part of that storyline. It would not be what you would think it is. If we could ever crack it to where Keanu and I thought it was a great idea and it didn’t feel like a cheese-out, then that’s great. But as far as , we’ve peaked. At least I have. That’s my apex. We ended it.
