Following the huge success of the 4th film, audiences across the world were already manifesting their desire to see the two collaborators back in a 5th installment. In October 2023 in an interview with Inverse, Stahelski teased fans and got their hopes up by hinting that this could be a definite possibility if certain conditions were met.

I have notebooks and notebooks of s*it behind me, John Wicks 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. We have ideas for days. We just don’t have the story locked. I have no interest in doing the cash grab of bringing John Wick back for something.

John Wick Director Made Keanu Reeves Learn New Action Techniques

The John Wick films starring Keanu Reeves and directed by Chad Stahelski have gained cult status for the thrilling action as well as their lead star’s presence and charisma on screen. Stahelski who is a former stuntman himself, is known to be a tough taskmaster when it comes to filming hardcore action sequences.

In John Wick, the director wanted the fight scenes to be choreographed a little differently. Since Reeves had put in a lot of martial arts training for The Matrix trilogy, the filmmaker was of the opinion that he must push the Speed actor to try something different with regard to the action in this film (via Collider).

Along with stunt coordinator David Leitch, Stahelski incorporated new techniques of martial arts namely gun fu which was meant to be a blend of gunplay and kung fu to ensure that the action scenes in John Wick would stand out for their unique quality. Despite putting his body through the wringer and sustaining injuries, Reeves’ determination ensured that these fight segments were truly memorable.
