Director update for John Wick Chapter 5

During a recent podcast interview,director Chad Stahelski was asked about the talk of another movie in the franchise,

Chad said: “Yeah, Keanu and I have talked. Keanu, if you ask him right now, ‘Would you do John Wick 5?’ He’d be, ‘f–k yeah’. But then he’d look and go, ‘Well, what is it? I have no f–king idea.'”

The director then went on to explain, “That’s all. Believe me. It’s not like, ‘We’re going to figure it out today.’ Like, look, man, we’re going to do our other stuff for a little bit, but if I was driving in the car or if I was walking the dog and an idea hit me, within 30 seconds, I’d be on the phone to Keanu, and we’d be riffing.”
