The premiere of the last episode of ‘The Continental’ has left us without the ‘John Wick’ universe until next year, since that will be when its spin-off premieres ‘Ballerina’. Beyond that, nothing is really confirmed despite the fact that Lionsgate announced the launch of ‘John Wick 5’ a few months ago. Now the director of the saga Chad Stahelski He has made it clear what is essential for it to be a reality.

Stahelski has given an interview to Inverse in which he reveals what “” has, but there is a fundamental problem which could be an insurmountable obstacle for both him and Reeves:
We just don’t have the story closed. I have no interest in bringing back John Wick just for the money. Is he a character I like? Yes of course. And if he did a couple of John Wick movies, great. Keanu would do one again in a second if we had a good story. We leave that open. I know the studio would love for us to say we have another one.
Additionally, Stahelski appreciates the support of Lionsgate to continue exploring this universe without it necessarily being with movies starring Reeves, pointing out that “”.
It is not yet clear in what other projects all this could crystallize, but what does seem clear is that both Stahelski and Reeves have not yet turned the page – remember that the actor already set out his conditions to return a few months ago. The point is that perhaps now they prefer to take things slow and focus on other projects. For example, the filmmaker has been working on a reboot of ‘The Immortals’ for years that never comes to fruition, and they have signed Henry Cavill to star in it.
What does seem clear is that ‘Ballerina’ is not going to be the last stage of this franchise, but there will be time to find out the next moves, and if one thing Stahelski and Reeves have shown, it is that We can trust them in everything related to the world of John Wick.
