Is John Wick 5 under works already?

On March 24, John Wick Chapter 4 will be released. But there are already more and more requests for a fifth installment.

Keanu Reeves, the star of the gun-fu franchise, responded to the calls by telling Total Film, "You have to see how the audience responds to what we did."

"The only reason we've had a chance to make these movies is that people have liked what we have done. So I think we have to wait and see how the audience responds to it. Hopefully, they'll like it."

Chad Stahelski, the director of the full-on action franchise, also weighed in on The Hollywood Reporter, declaring that he and Keanu Reeves are "done for the moment" in regard to the fifth installment.

"In our minds, Keanu and I are done for the moment. We’re going to give John Wick a rest. I’m sure the studio has a plan. If everyone loves it and it goes kooky, then we’ll take a quiet minute."

He continued, "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 couple 20-year-old whiskies and write some ideas on napkins. If those ideas stick, maybe we’ll make a movie."
