The fourquel ends with John’s death, as he’s killed by Caine in a duel.
Nevertheless, despite the definitive ending,Lionsgate is still developingJohn Wick 5.
We’re in development on three others, including [John Wick 5]."
While Lionsgate still plans on makingJohn Wick 5, the studio has written itself into a corner.
There was actually analternativeJohn Wick: Chapter 4ending.
However, those higher stakes simply can’t happen with aJohn Wickprequel.
A prequel movie also raises issues when it comes to the budget.
Nobody clearly needed a large sum of money for something, but the movie never reveals why.
While that story undoubtedly needs to continue, it shouldn’t beJohn Wick 5’smain story.
The Director’s cut could also include the shot of John still alive.
That way,John Wick 5could follow on fromChapter 4’salternate ending, just likeI Am Legend 2.
However, just because the studio can do that doesn’t mean it should.
