John Wickstar Keanu Reeves has been spotted in Germany, specifically at Berlin’s Potsdam Babelsberg studios, with the actor looking happy and ready to begin filming onJohn Wick 4. While Reeves recently shaved off his signature John Wick-locks for another sequel in a hugely popular franchise,The Matrix 4, his beard looks to be growing back nicely, and will no doubt once again be blood-spattered once Wick continues his endless quest for vengeance.
Development on the fourth entry in the action thriller franchise officially began some time ago, following the release ofJohn Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellumback in 2019. But not evenJohn Wickcan stop the ongoing global situation, and thus delays and production push backs occurred. With things slowly going back to normal-ish for the entertainment industry,Keanu Reevesand the rest of the cast and crew can now return to the world of Wick.
The last audiences saw ofJohn Wick, our favourite put-upon hitman wasdeclared excommunicadofollowing the violent events ofJohn Wick: Chapter 2. Now with a hefty bounty put upon his head, Wick sets out to seek help to save himself from ruthless assassins and bounty hunters. The movie ends with John Wick being shot by his friend Winston before falling from the roof of The Continental. In the final scene, Wick joins forces with Laurence Fishburne’s Bowery King, with the pair hellbent on taking the fight directly to the High Table.
TheJohn Wick franchisehas been something of a rejuvenation for Keanu Reeves' career, with the actor recently revealing that he will play the role ofJohn Wickfor “As far as my legs can take me. As far as the audience wants to go.”
John Wickcreator Derek Kolstad however has revealed that he isno longer involved with the franchiseand will have zero involvement withJohn Wick 4andJohn Wick 5. “I’m actually not involved in 4 and 5,” he said. “At a certain stage the studio will tell you, your creation is graduated, and you wish it well. I’m still close with Chad (Stahelski), still close with David (Leitch), and I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I’m excited to see.”
While it is unknown why Kolstad has been left out of the upcoming sequels, he is not holding any grudges, and wishes nothing but the best forJohn Wickand the creative team behind it. “No, it wasn’t my decision,” Kolstad revealed. “When you think of the [contracts] of these things, the third one I shared the credit with any number of people, they didn’t have to come back to me, and so they didn’t. So, you look at that, and you could be hurt, and I would - say, if I was 20 years ago - I would have been, but seeing what the industry is and how things go, I just believe that you bless everything and hope it all the best, and to the players involved who are doing other things elsewhere. And yeah, it’s personal, so I’m never going to talk sh*t about John Wick. I want this thing to survive and thrive.”
John Wick 4is scheduled for release on August 25, 2025. This comes to us courtesy ofThe Daily Mail.
