Keanu Reeves Casts Doubt on a ‘John Wick 5’ Return
Keanu Reeves has taken on hordes of assassins, survived near-impossible shootouts, and outwitted every underworld boss imaginable, but it seems he’s finally met an enemy even John Wick can’t defeat—getting up from a chair without cursing in pain. In a recent interview with CBS News promoting his role in Sonic The Hedgehog 3, Reeves candidly shared his doubts about returning for a fifth John Wick film, despite admitting that he would love nothing more than to put the suit on again and shoot some bad guys extremely precisely in the head.
Reeves was speaking after the explosive success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which left his character…well…dead. The series is infamous for its demanding action sequences, with Reeves dedicating months to training for combat and stunts. Still, after four punishing movies, it’s understandable that Reeves would be considering retiring from the physically demanding role.
“You can never say never,” Reeves admitted, before adding:
“My knees right now are saying, ‘I can’t do another John Wick.’ So my heart does, but I don’t know if my knees can do it.”
If John Wick 5 does happen, it looks like Reeves might be trading bulletproof suits for knee braces and action-packed car chases for cautious trips across icy sidewalks like the rest of us.
Will Keanu Reeves Play John Wick Again?
Despite Keanu Knee-ves’ latest comments, we haven’t seen the last of Reeves as the Baba Yaga. The actor is set to reprise his role in the John Wick spin-off film Ballerina, led by Ana de Armas and taking place in between the events of the third and fourth films, which should allow Reeves the chance to get back into the world of assassins without having to shoulder the full weight of the franchise. We don’t yet know if it’s a supporting role or just a cameo, but given that he’s in the trailer, it should be at least more than one scene. Plus you couldn’t possibly have John Wick in a film and not have him shoot somebody or kill a bad guy with a f*cking pencil.
Ballerina is due in theaters on June 6, 2025. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates on the project and watch John Wick: Chapter 4 on Starz.
With the price on his head ever increasing, legendary hit man John Wick takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to Berlin.

Keanu Reeves Casts Doubt on a ‘John Wick 5’ Return
Fans of the popular action franchise ‘John Wick’ may be disappointed to hear that Keanu Reeves has cast doubt on the possibility of returning for a fifth installment in the series.
In a recent interview, Reeves expressed uncertainty about the future of the character, stating that he was unsure if there was more story to tell for John Wick. He also mentioned that he didn’t want to overstay his welcome in the role and risk diluting the impact of the character.
While this news may come as a disappointment to fans who were hoping for more high-octane, gun-fu action from the beloved assassin, Reeves’ concerns about the quality and longevity of the series are understandable. After all, it’s better to leave fans wanting more than to overstay one’s welcome.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that a ‘John Wick 5’ is completely off the table, but for now, it seems like Reeves is taking a cautious approach to the future of the franchise. Only time will tell if we will see John Wick back in action once again.
