"Derek Kolstad, who wrote John Wick and its two succeeding sequels, doesn't think that it will be that much of a hurdle for the fifth film. 'He did die offscreen in that last one,' Kolstad tells Inverse. 'So of course you're going to bring him back.'"
"'I think sequels got bigger and bigger and bigger,' Kolstad says. 'I kind of want to see the fifth one be a little bit smaller, and be more of him riding off into the sunset.'"
"'Keanu's not a guy who likes sequels or franchises,' Kolstad says. 'But he just loves John, and it's my grandpa's name, and I'm glad he does.'"
John Wick 5 has been confirmed, and the challenge of resurrecting John Wick is considered manageable since he died offscreen in Chapter 4. Derek Kolstad, the franchise's creator, suggests that the fifth film could take a different approach by being smaller in scale, focusing on Wick's journey towards a peaceful conclusion. Despite leaving the series to pursue other projects, Kolstad maintains a fondness for the John Wick films, and Keanu Reeves remains committed to the character, emphasizing his unique connection to the role.
