HoweverJohn Wick: Chapter 5.While the film has been officially approved for publication, we don’t know much about its potential design.

John Wick: Chapter 5.

Probably. John Wick Chapter 5Technically, the approval was granted in 2020 shortly after the publication of Chap. 3. And based on the early box-office tracking for the fourth entry in the series, it’s hard to imagine that Lionsgate has lost interest in another sequel.

Chad Stahelski says that the most important thing about making another John Wick movie is not whether Keanu Reeves would like to, but if he and Reeves are able to come up with enough new ideas and set pieces to make it meaningful.

Stahelski described the process of coming up with new John Wick movies in an interview with Collider, saying: “Literally every Wick has been written or at least conceptualized in Japan at the Imperial Hotel, with me and Keanu on our press tour. The process starts with a couple of glasses Yamazaki/Hibiki. [whisky], and next thing you know, we’re like, ‘I didn’t know we could do this.’ And that’s how we start writing them.”

Is John Wick still alive at the conclusion of John Wick 4’s fourth chapter?

Perhaps he might. In an interview with Polygon, Michael Finch (co-writer) and Shay Hatten (singer), said that the ending was intentionally left open-ended.

“What I will say is that we never actually see him dying. He is alive. [grave] plot. What happened in between is up for interpretation,” Finch said.

Hatten believes that the end of John Wick: Chapter 4It leaves it up to the viewers to decide the answer and encourages them to share their feelings on the film. “I really think it is a fascinating kind of existential question that these movies have been asking for a long time: John, what is he even alive for?” he said. “Because at first, he’s living for the memory of his wife. But once he continues to go down this journey of putting himself deeper and deeper in this pit, he has to ask himself: ‘Am I being the man she would even want? Am I earning her memory?’ And so that kind of feeds into people interpreting that ending how they may wish to.”

“Look, the struggle on the John Wick franchise is really between John, loving husband, and John Wick, killer,” Finch said. “That’s the direction in all of these films. In [Chapter 4]That is why we decided to confront it head-on. Is John Wick ever free? Oder is death the only thing that will allow John Wick to be completely free? That’s what we’re playing with.”

As long as there’s no official word about John Wick: Chapter 5., it’s officially up to viewers to decide John’s actual fate.

Is John Wick 5 coming out soon?

Stahelski says he needs a bit of a rest between each of these movies, so don’t expect John Wick, Chapter 5. In 2024, it will be available.

Slashfilm was told by Stahelski how he made his films.

Every time I come back to a ‘Wick,’ there’s been two or three years in between. That’s a lot of time for a human. You know how many pieces of art or music or museums or locations I’ve gone to in three years? Huge. Think about what you can do in one year. How would you spend three years? Don’t you think all that would influence you? I just don’t think I’d be very good jumping right into something. To improve, I will need to take some time. I’ve got to go practice.

Lionsgate obviously doesn’t have a new John Wick movie on its docket yet, but it seems like it wouldn’t come out until at least 2025 or 2026.
