As a seasoned movie critic who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless cinematic franchises, I must say that the delay of John Wick: Chapter 5 comes as both a relief and a disappointment. Relief, because it’s always heartening to see a filmmaker like Chad Stahelski prioritize quality over quantity, even if it means waiting a few more years. Disappointment, because I, like many other fans, have grown accustomed to the adrenaline-pumping thrills that John Wick’s world provides us.
As a devoted fan of the John Wick franchise, I’ve been eagerly awaiting news about Chapter 5 for quite some time. Having followed the career trajectories of both Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski, I was hopeful that we would soon see our favorite assassin back on the big screen. However, recent reports indicate that John Wick: Chapter 5 will not begin filming in 2025 or anytime soon (Collider).
As a long-time fan of the John Wick franchise, I can’t help but feel a wave of excitement wash over me when I hear that John Wick Presents: Ballerina will be released next summer! With Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, and the late Lance Reddick all set to appear, it’s clear that this spin-off will bring us as close to a core installment as we can get. Plus, with a television series in the works following John Wick: Chapter 4, I’m confident that the franchise is only going to get even better.
And Now We Wait
John Wick is essentially Stahelski’s creation, and he is meticulously ensuring its success. If Chapter 5 materializes, it must ingeniously resolve the conclusion of Chapter 4. However, given the franchise’s escalating fantasy and absurd elements, coupled with exceptional quality, perhaps the plot’s intricacy isn’t crucial. Regardless, we eagerly anticipate more screen time for the captivating Shamier Anderson character from Chapter 4, The Tracker, one of the few surviving secondary characters. Moreover, his bond with his loyal pet companion echoes John Wick’s initial relationships within the franchise. Prior to the release of Chapter 4, Anderson shared that:
Additionally, I too believe the puppy – who doesn’t have affection for a dog? Given that it serves as his guiding light, his ultimate goal, we can understand why John Wick is essentially returning for vengeance; it’s about his beloved dog. In this movie, I even get to adopt my own dog, a Belgian Malinois.
Who will take on the role next in the John Wick series as it continues? It’s possible that The Tracker could follow in Baba Yaga’s footsteps. As for Wick himself, it seems his story has reached its conclusion after achieving his mission and becoming the Marquis, who met a tragic end. However, given the substantial box office success of all three John Wick sequels (particularly the third and fourth), and considering that the character is a significant part of Keanu Reeves’ career, similar to Neo from The Matrix, don’t be surprised if we see more of John Wick. Furthermore, with Stahelski still involved, you can trust that the quality won’t disappoint. Keep an eye on this series for updates.
