However,John Wick 5may be taking things a bit too far for the Keanu Reeves-led action series.
Although the series' success makes this understandable,John Wick 5really shouldn’t be done.

Sadly, it seems likely thatJohn Wick 5will kill the franchise’s winning streak.
Revealing thatJohn Wick didn’t actually diewould undermine the perfect ending ofJohn Wick: Chapter 4.
Bringing John Wick back would be too nonsensical even for the pretty zany franchise.
There is simply no good way to go about makingJohn Wick 5.
Even ifBallerinaandThe Continentalare good, they are nothing new, with them most likely retreading on old ground.
However, the series is still going on, with spin-offs and sequels potentially running it into the ground.
That’s under the assumption that these spin-offs and sequels are actually good.
The movies wanted to go out while they were on top, which was probably a wise decision.
John Wick let himself die, and Lionsgate should too.
However, theJohn Wickwell will inevitably run dry.
Lionsgate should instead preserve the legacy and status of their iconic action franchise rather than milking it to death.
Since defying the odds is built into the history ofJohn Wick, it could happen again.
It’s possible thatBallerinaandThe Continentalare both great, upholding the legacy of the franchise.
AlthoughJohn Wick 5seems like a guaranteed failure, its success isn’t an impossibility.
