You might wanna skip this paragraph if you have not watchedJohn Wick: Chapter 4yet as it containsMajor Spoilersfor the movie. At the end of the movie, John Wick is shown dead and buried next to his wife’s grave as he finally succumbed to his injuries from the Paris fight. Ian McShane’s character, Winston Scott later visits the grave of the assassin in New York implying that John Wick is indeed dead. Considering the ambiguity around John Wick’s death, there still might be a way of bringing back the character to life in another movie.
Chad Stahelskirecently opened up about the possibility of a 5th movie in an interview and revealed that he does not know about the future of the franchise although Lionsgate studio is ready to make moreJohn Wickmovies. He said,
“I honestly don’t know. 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.’ I have scenes, I have action sequences in my head that we haven’t used that I’d love to do. If we do come back, we can’t just do the same thing. I gotta do my homework. I gotta get better.”

In an interview withThe Direct, Chad Stahelski revealed that theOppenheimerstar, Cillian Murphy was his top pick in a possibleJohn Wick: Chapter 5movie. He said,
“There’s a huge list, but just the first thing that came to mindset was Cillian Murphy. I’m a big Peaky Blinders fan. So, you know, I just think Cillian would fit right in. Colin Farrell is fantastic. Charlize Theron when she did Atomic Blonde, I saw that went, ‘Oh my God, I gotta work with this woman.’ She’s awesome. I worked with Michelle Yeoh way back on a commercial years ago, and I’ve been dying to work with her ever since. I’m such a huge fan.”
