John Wick: Chapter 4 wasn't the end of the franchise, as John Wick 5 is officially happening. Sadly, the sequel could end up ruining the series.
John Wick 5 is officially happening, and it has us seriously worried about the franchise's future. The first four John Wick films have all been fantastic, with each one building on the last to create a much bigger world with even zanier action set pieces. However, John Wick 5 may be taking things a bit too far for the Keanu Reeves-led action series.
Sadly, it seems likely that John Wick 5 will kill the franchise's winning streak. It is almost impossible to navigate the return of John Wick in a satisfying way, meaning that the reception of the fifth movie will inevitably take a big critical hit. Revealing that John Wick didn't actually die would undermine the perfect ending of John Wick: Chapter 4. Bringing John Wick back would be too nonsensical even for the pretty zany franchise.
That's under the assumption that these spin-offs and sequels are actually good. It's also possible that Ballerina and The Continental don't live up to the quality of the mainline John Wick movies, which is a real risk considering that they are made up of different creative teams. One bad John Wick project could kill the franchise's reputation, ruining the pristine legacy that the first four movies built up.
Despite the character and the creatives wanting to let John Wick die, Lionsgate just won't let it happen. John Wick is one of Lionsgate's biggest franchises, meaning that it wants to keep the cash cow going. However, the John Wick well will inevitably run dry. Lionsgate should instead preserve the legacy and status of their iconic action franchise rather than milking it to death.
