John Wick: Chapter 4 is currently dominating the box office, with Keanu Reeves delivering hours of action. And we love it here at Nerdist. The fourth installment in the successful John Wick franchise was meant to be the end of Baba Yaga’s tale. And honestly, he deserves some rest, considering how quickly all of this mess went down for him. That’s a lot of pain and killing in a span of only a few months. But the smell of success is an intoxicating scent that lures executives in for more. So, it looks like John Wick 5 could possibly happen in the future, which is interesting considering how the fourth film neatly wraps up Wick’s story.
Here’s what Lionsgate Motion Picture Group President Joe Drake told The Hollywood Reporter:
“There’s a will and there’s an openness. And you could certainly interpret that ending in different ways,” said Drake. “We’re all going to take a tiny rest here and then scratch at ideas about whether there’s a credible way to get into five. But there’s no guarantee.”
This, of course, isn’t a confirmation that a John Wick 5 movie will happen. Maybe Keanu Reeves will decide that he’s tired of shooting people and running in dress shoes. Either way, this isn’t the end of the universe. There’s already a secret Wick movie in the works, and we have the Ballerina flick coming later this year. But we wouldn’t mind seeing more John Wick at all, just as long as John Wick 5 tells the right story.
