Keanu Reeves as John Wick from John Wick Chapter 4 with a Fast and Furious race background as money rains from the sky
Summary John Wick 5 could see the return of Keanu Reeves in the titular role, but bringing him back would risk repeating a major mistake from another billion dollar action franchise. John Wick: Chapter 4 ended with John finally at peace after being granted freedom from the High Table, finally succumbing to all that he's been through. His death seemingly marks the end of the franchise, offering a final note for his character.
Related The John Wick Franchise Has Already Appointed One Of Its Keanu Reeves Replacements Keanu Reeves' future as John Wick is uncertain, and an upcoming spinoff movie's lead could be the perfect replacement for the franchise star. The problem with bringing dead characters back to life so haphazardly is that it no longer creates a sense of danger for any of the franchise's heroes. This is why, if John were revealed to be alive in John Wick 5, it would cheapen the ending of the previous movie. While it's never clarified if John really died in Chapter 4, his gravestone allows plenty of interpretations, including one where he is finally at peace.
By contrast, the John Wick movies have continued to have bigger action scenes with every film, going from a home invasion in the first movie to an hour-long bloodbath in Chapter 4. However, despite some unrealistic elements throughout, the movies have never become so unbelievable that they feel too different from each previous installment. By excelling at this balance, the action franchise keeps itself from becoming as unrealistic as many Fast & Furious movies are.
