• John Wick: Chapter 4 will be released on March 17, 2017.
• He also hinted at the possibility of a fifth film in the franchise.
• Chad Stahelski’s film is expected to be one of the best action sagas of all time.

In John Wick: Chapter 4, time is running out for Keanu Reeves’ return to the underworld. In the run-up to the release of the Chad Stahelski film, audiences were treated to new unique posters at the ongoing CCXP, which depicted the former assassin making a fiery return.

During the film’s panel, which included Collider’s own Steve Weintraub and Erick Massoto, the actor discussed the upcoming film and the franchise in general, even hinting at the possibility of a fifth film.

Conversations about Chapter 4’s action sequences were unavoidable because the film is widely regarded as one of the greatest action sagas of all time, thanks to its seamless fight sequences and inviting visuals.

Weintraub teased bigger set pieces and higher stakes in the upcoming sequel in a video shared on Twitter.

Reeves revealed the following about the High Table, which will take centre stage in Chapter 4:

“The table is this world above the world; and the people, the assassins, under the table are as boundless as the grains of sand on the beach. So there [are] a lot of people coming after John Wick. But really, for the John Wick film[s], it’s really just the invention of the scene, right? How can you do these scenes? There’s a cool action sequence that takes place around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris that’s like a fight scene in traffic.”

To avoid giving too much away, the actor added, “There’s a lot of people coming after me, and there’s a lot of different kinds of scenes that are fun for the action.”

Despite the fact that it’s been over three years since audiences saw Reeves in the titular role, having previously brought him to life in 2019’s John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, fans of the franchise haven’t forgotten that fun action sequences are part of the course for the films.

Wick will navigate a path to finally defeating the High Table in the upcoming film, which will be his only real ticket to freedom. But, in true John Wick fashion, nothing is ever that simple, and he must first defeat a new powerful foe who has friends all over the world.

When asked if John Wick: Chapter 4 would be the final film in the franchise, Reeves teased the possibility of a fifth installment, stating that the franchise only exists because of the fans who show up for every film, and that if the audience shows up for the fourth installment, a fifth film could be possible. According to the actor,

“The only way we’ve ever had the chance to do the job and make the films… cause there was no big plan right, it was just a script, a wonderful script. We have great directors with Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, whose great in the role. And the only reason we got to do another one was the response of the audience. So for me, we only got to do Chapter 2 because of the first one, and we got to do Chapter 3 because of the response of the audience to the films. The only way we’ll get the chance to do another film is the response to Chapter 4. So hopefully, likely. Just know we made Chapter 4 with a lot of love. We made it like it was going to be our last.”

In addition to Reeves’ return as the retired hitman, the film will feature a star-studded cast that includes Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane, Bill Skarsgard, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Donnie Yen, to name a few.

The eagerness for John Wick: Chapter 4 comes at an exciting time in the ever-expanding John Wick universe. Ana de Armas will take centre stage in the John Wick spin-off series Ballerina, it was recently announced.

If that wasn’t enough to get your teeth into, a prequel series The Continental starring Colin Woodell has also been announced, taking audiences back to the 1970s for a deeper dive into the hotel that goes on to host the assassin world’s elite.

John Wick: Chapter 4 will be released in theatres on March 24, 2023. Check out the actor’s comments after the jump:
