Is John Wick 5 still coming?

Updated: May 31, 2023


After the shocking ending of "John Wick: Chapter 4" the question naturally arises: will there be a "John Wick 5"? In a video and in the following text we reveal what is guaranteed to happen and what could be possible.The ending of "John Wick: Chapter 4" gives the impression that John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves, bled to death in Paris and was buried next to his wife. It would be a fitting conclusion to the series as we all know that John Wick can never truly rest. The statements of those involved also indicate that "John Wick 5" is currently not up for debate. But in an action series like this, deaths aren't necessarily final. Should director Chad Stahelski feel like making another film at some point, there will be "John Wick 5".It would be easy to explain that the killer, along with his friends like Winston (Ian McShane) and Caine (Donnie Yen), only faked his death. Though John Wick has paid his debt by defeating the Marquis, he knows he will never be truly free. There will always be someone who wants to make their name, whether it's by killing John Wick or revenge. Above all, the powerful family of the Marquis will not simply accept what is happening. Faking a death would be one way for John Wick to still enjoy his retirement.There is also an argument that "John Wick 5" has already been announced. The original plan was to shoot "John Wick 4" and "John Wick 5" back to back. Chad Stahelski definitely had other plans. However, it's unclear how much those plans may have changed. The fact that shooting together was planned suggests that the two films should be closely linked - which seems a bit strange after the clear conclusion of "John Wick 4". However, it could be that the events of "John Wick 4" were originally split into two films.The first end credits scene of "John Wick 4" does not provide a clear answer to the question about "John Wick 5". In this scene we see Akira (Rina Sawayama) armed with a stabbing weapon approaching Caine to take revenge for her father's death. What happens in the confrontation remains open. Could this scene possibly hint at a sequel? Or is it just meant to show us that the cycle of violence never ends, as someone will always seek revenge and someone else will seek revenge? This statement goes well with the idea that John Wick himself can find peace only in feigned death.Regardless of whether "John Wick 5" ever comes out, and whether John Wick is alive or dead by the end of "Chapter 4", it's pretty sure we'll have Keanu Reeves at least

will be seen again in the role of John Wick. The spin-off "Ballerina" by director Len Wiseman, known for "Underworld", starring Ana de Armas ("Knives Out") takes place between the events of "John Wick 3" and "John Wick 4" and will make reference to it. This spin-off will also feature some familiar characters, including Reeves as Wick and Ian McShane as Winston.Another spin-off project is the mini-series "The Continental" being developed for Amazon Prime Video. It will show how Winston came to the New York branch of the killer hotel. Although the series is set in the 1970s and will also star Colin Woodell as a young Winston and Mel Gibson, among others, there have been rumors that Reeves and McShane might appear in a supporting storyline.So it is uncertain whether "John Wick 5" will actually come. However, it is certain that many more projects from the world of "John Wick" could come to us. For example, there has also been speculation about a potential spin-off about Halle Berry's character Sofia from "John Wick 3".
