Director Chad Stahelski has provided an update on John Wick: Chapter 5.
The John Wick franchise has been a highly successful series of action movies starring Keanu Reeves as the titular hitman. Each movie has offered fights, guns, and kills unlike any other. With the success of John Wick: Chapter 4 earlier this year, some have wondered if we’ll be getting a fifth installment in the series, especially after the film’s ending appeared to offer a finite conclusion for the franchise.
“I honestly don’t know,” Stahelski told Empire about the prospects of John Wick 5. “Lionsgate is keen on doing more John Wick stuff, understandably. It’s not a bad thing for a director to have a property that they want to make more of. I don’t have a take right now. But I could wake up tomorrow and have a cool idea that I’d pitch to Keanu, or he would pitch to me, and it might hit that chord of, ‘Oh my God, we got to do this right now.’”
He says there are a few ideas circulating about the film. “I have scenes, I have action sequences in my head that we haven’t used that I’d love to do,” says Stahelski. “If we do come back, we can’t just do the same thing. I gotta do my homework. I gotta get better.”
How many John Wick movies are there?
There are currently four movies in the John Wick series. There will be a spin-off movie named Ballerina starring Ana de Armas, and a three-part prequel series called The Continental.
