Fans Are Clamoring For A Fifth John Wick Movie. The Director Shares ‘The Honest Truth’ About What’s Going On With A Sequel

As a gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the high-octane world of John Wick, I can confidently say that Chapter 4 was a breathtaking conclusion to an extraordinary saga. The action, the drama, the heart-stopping moments – it was all there. But, as they say in the gaming community, “always leave them wanting more.


John Wick returned from retirement a decade ago and left cinema-goers spellbound. The John Wick four-part series escalated in popularity, with both critics and box office returns on its side, culminating in an exhilarating finale with John Wick: Chapter 4. Although Chad Stahelski hasn’t closed the door on a potential John Wick: Chapter 5, he has made it clear that the latest film marks the end of the John Wick saga.

In the final moments of “John Wick: Chapter 4”, John Wick emerged victorious, but paid the ultimate price – his life. The film seemed to suggest that John was dead, yet it left a slight possibility open for his return if a fifth movie were to be made. Since then, news about “John Wick: Chapter 5” being in development has surfaced, however, franchise director Chad Stahelski told THR that there’s no concrete plan for another movie, though various ideas are being discussed. He clarified…

To put it plainly, there’s no beating what we achieved in the fourth chapter of John Wick. That’s where we drew a line and found resolution. However, just because we wrapped up that story doesn’t mean there won’t be more adventures for John Wick. In fact, ideas for a fifth installment have been swirling around for quite some time now, both as a means to generate income and to satisfy creative needs. Over the past three years, I’ve had at least four different concepts for John Wick 5, all aimed at finding fresh ways to tell the story.

Chad Stahelski has made it clear that if there is a John Wick: Chapter 5, it won’t continue the storyline from the previous four films, instead offering something fresh. It could be like how John Wick came out of retirement in the first movie after being attacked by mobsters, and now, some new event may lead him to reveal he’s not really dead.

It’s no surprise that a fifth installment of the John Wick series might be in the works, given the massive success of John Wick: Chapter 4. With its impressive box office earnings, it seems only natural that the studio would be keen on producing more. After all, if an offer of a truckload of money came knocking at Keanu Reeves’ door, it would be tough to turn down!

It’s highly probable that if a new John Wick movie is released, audiences will eagerly flock to watch it, regardless of any motivations behind its production. Given their fondness for the series, fans are likely to be keen on watching another installment whenever it becomes available.

Additionally, it seems that Stahelski harbors artistic motivations as well. It appears that he’s conceptualizing unique action sequences suitable for another John Wick film, regardless of a definitive narrative framework. Particularly, he’s keen on executing an intriguing car chase scene that he has yet to realize.

Absolutely, the creative potential surrounding the John Wick universe isn’t limited to just sequels. In fact, Chad Stahelski is expanding the John Wick world in various directions. Ana de Armas is set to star in the initial spinoff film titled “Ballerina,” scheduled for 2025. Furthermore, other movies, TV series, and an anime are currently being developed, ensuring that the influence of John Wick will endure long into the future, regardless of whether we see another movie or not.
