Earlier this yr, Keanu Reeves returned in John Wick Chapter 4 however the movie concluded together with his murderer’s obvious dying.

We noticed his hitman dying from a gunshot however there was by no means a physique earlier than the shot of his grave.

Clearly, his destiny’s finality stays up within the air relying on whether or not or not the star will return.

As followers get pleasure from prequel miniseries The Continental on Prime Video and await Reeves’ appearance as Wick in spin-off Ballerina (set before Chapter 4) next year, what of John Wick 5?

Franchise director Chad Stahelski has spoken out in a brand new interview on the matter. In truth, it turns on the market are plans as much as John Wick 9, however the titular star will solely return to the function on one situation.

Speaking with Inverse, Chad stated: “I have notebooks and notebooks of s–t behind me, John Wicks 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. We have ideas for days. We just don’t have the story locked. I have no interest in doing the cash grab of bringing John Wick back for something. Is he a character I like? Of course. And if I did a couple of John Wick movies, great.”

On the star’s one situation, the director stated: “Keanu would do one again in a second if we had a good story. We leave that open-ended. I know that the studio would love us to say we have another one.

“Keanu and I are always interested in that, but we leave it hanging out there a little bit to figure out if we have something that we’d want to watch. Second, we have a studio that’s very enthusiastic and not just financially motivated, but they’re just interested in seeing what we could do with it. So, they’ve been super cool of us this year about branching off.”

Chad added: “I know the term is spin-offs or ancillaries or whatever you want to call it. Keanu and I both went back, and we all said, ‘Look, we have ideas for the John Wick world, other characters that aren’t John Wick-centric. Would you guys be interested in exploring that?’ And they were super cool, and they said, ‘Yes, we’d be very interested in that.’

“Characters that weren’t in any of the movies that had fallen to the sidelines because they just didn’t fit in our storylines, and some existing characters that we’d like to see other things.”
