Keanu Reeves has confirmed that there are no future plans for the character of John Wick following his death in John Wick: Chapter 4. In a recent interview, the actor mentioned: “He died in John Wick: Chapter 4. I know [it’s] Hollywood… but at this moment there is nothing.” Although the possibility of the iconic assassin’s return seems remote, action movie fans never stop speculating about a possible return of the character, especially considering the surprising nature of narratives in Hollywood.
John Wick will return soon, but not for a new standalone movie
Although Reeves will not be portraying Wick in a new movie, he will indeed don the black suit again in the spin-off Ballerina, which stars Ana de Armas. This film, which is chronologically set before the events of Chapter 4, will introduce a new heroine seeking to avenge her father’s death. The plot promises to continue with the intense and action-packed style that characterizes the franchise.
In an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Ana de Armas shared her struggles in facing the complicated action sequences of Ballerina. The actress revealed how Reeves’ dedication, who performed spectacular stunts during rehearsals, inspired her to keep going. “Keanu and I were rehearsing our difficult stunt scene, and this guy is just rolling and throwing me and doing these crazy things,” Armas commented, reflecting the atmosphere of collaborative and motivating work on set.
Ballerina will hit theaters on June 6, 2025, and fans can expect to see Reeves assist the new protagonist in her quest for revenge, although in a less subtle way than a quiet conversation with the villains. The film promises to be another thrilling chapter in the John Wick universe, this time focused on an emerging heroine.
