The John Wick sequence can be placed on a “rest” after John Wick: Chapter 4 makes its manner onto film screens.
The franchise’s director Chad Stahelski has stated that each he and Keanu Reeves are “done for the moment” with the movies. Telling The Hollywood Reporter that the character must be left alone for some time, including that it has created a backlog of labor for him.
Asked if there was the opportunity of a fifth instalment within the works, Stahleski replied: “In our minds, Keanu and I are executed for the second. We’re going to offer John Wick a relaxation. I’m certain the studio has a plan. If everybody loves it and it goes kooky, then we’ll take a quiet minute.
“Wicks always, for some weird reason, always get the latest release date in Japan. It’s always like, three months later. If it’s the same this time, we’ll do a Japanese tour and release the movie in September. Keanu and I will take the long trip to Tokyo, we’ll sit in the Imperial Hotel Scotch Bar and go, “What do you think?” We’ll have a pair 20-year-old whiskies and write some concepts on napkins. If these concepts stick, perhaps we’ll make a film.”
The director is at the moment connected to plenty of high-profile tasks, together with Highlander, Ghost of Tsushima and Rainbow Six. Asked in regards to the grind of creating 4 Wick movies in only a decade, and if this was affecting these different undertaking, Stahleski admitted the movie’s took over in manner – although he was coy about which movie’s he’s in-line to helm.
“There have been a few that have come out, and I’ve been surprised to see I’m attached to direct them,” he stated. “Really, though, there’s a lot I’m interested in. But the Wicks are so intense, and I like being part of all of it. I’ve tried to be the multitasker director — prepping one thing while working on another — but I can’t. That’s why they start stacking up.”
John Wick: Chapter 4 has had outstanding early reactions. Following superior evaluation screening some critics have hailed it “one of the greatest action movies ever made.”
