Keanu Reeves has opened up about the potential for a fifth installment of the John Wick franchise, expressing his desire to reprise the iconic role—but with some reservations about his physical ability to do so. The actor, who has portrayed the titular character since 2014, says that while his heart is in it, he’s unsure if his “knees can do it.”
Reeves made these comments while discussing the future of the beloved action series, following the release of John Wick: Chapter 4 in 2023. Directed by Chad Stahelski, the film was met with critical acclaim, further solidifying the franchise’s position as one of Hollywood’s most successful action sagas.
Though the series has not officially announced a fifth film, Reeves’ statement suggests that he is open to the idea, despite the physical toll the role has taken over the years. Known for performing many of his own stunts, Reeves has gained a reputation for his dedication to the action-packed demands of the role, but at 59 years old, he is now more cautious about the strain on his body.
“Never say never,” Reeves remarked, adding that his passion for the John Wick series remains strong. However, he acknowledged the challenges of keeping up with the intense physicality required for the role.
As fans eagerly await updates, it remains to be seen whether Reeves and Stahelski will continue to explore John Wick’s world in future films—or if the series will wrap up with Chapter 4. For now, Reeves remains uncertain but hopeful, all while carefully considering the toll on his body.
