John Wick Director Says He’s Taking Upcoming Sequels One Film At a Time

John Wick: Chapter 4 is expected to come out on May 27, 2022. Originally meant to come out in just a couple of months, COVID-19 has obviously pushed everyone’s schedule around. While chapter 4 hasn’t even come out, it’s been said that there will be a chapter 5 as well. Which, could be a lot of pressure to deliver. But, Wick creator and screenwriter Derek Kolstad and director Chad Stahelski say they’re taking it one movie at a time:

“There’s the studio business side of things where, of course, I think they think Keanu and I are getting on in our years, so they’re going to try do to two back to back,” Stahelski says of filming two Wicks back-to-back. “That’s interesting. It’s very flattering. I’m psyched that I have a studio behind me that wants to keep making John Wicks.”

Stahelski continued:

“The way Keanu and I approach it with our writing team is, ‘Look, we have ideas, but it’s not like I’m working with two sets of writers on two movies,'” the filmmaker adds. “We’re going to write a really good number four. If a really good number four feels solid to Keanu and I, we’ll make that one. That doesn’t mean we won’t plan on a five or start writing five, but we want to make sure we have a solid story. The worst thing you can do is ‘I got five ideas. I’m going to put two in number four and put three in number five,’ I don’t want to try and stretch into two movies. I want to have solid ideas. So we’re attacking number four with everything we have,. If there’s anything left on the table, we’ll fully attack number five.”
