Over the years, Reeves has become synonymous with the character, thanks to the intense dedication he immersed to the role. His Wick portrayal, a man driven by loss and seeking vengeance, garnered positive responses from audiences, turning the franchise into a global phenomenon.
Bringing another installment in the franchise would be nothing extraordinary as the previous movies garnered critical and commercial acclaim throughout its run.Chapter 4, in particular, left shocking twists, as the franchise seemingly put the titular character to rest.
Given that the movie’s ambiguous ending has been witnessed in the fourth movie, Wick’s return fairly won’t be impossible. But is this what fans want?

Keanu’s back must be hurting from carrying this franchise for so long. Let’s hope they don’t milk it dry.
4 ended so well I don’t fw thispic.twitter.com/pj6IED2Qt1
They really pulled a marvel huh?
The fans’ concern is understandable as the actor himself wanted his character to be killed at the end of the last installment. In an interview withCollider,franchise producer Basil Iwanyk spilled the beans that theSpeedactor begged the team to put his character on eternal rest.
After the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th movie, making these films is so exhausting and it destroys Keanu, physically and emotionally. By the end, he’s always like, ‘I can’t do this again,’ and we agree with him.
He explained that getting deeply involved in the film was taking a toll on him, both physically and emotionally. The fourth movie ended with Wick’s presumable death after competing in a duel to free himself from the High Table.
After getting shot in the third duel,he seemingly diedwhile seeing a vision of his late wife, Helen. The film then cuts to a final scene of Winston (Ian McShane) and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) visiting John’s gravestone.
John Wick: Chapter 4is available to stream on Lionsgate Play.
