Hold on to your Baba Yaga coins! John Wick 5 is officially happening, bringing Keanu Reeves back into the fold after the seemingly definitive ending of Chapter 4. While fans are thrilled to see more of the legendary assassin, some are questioning whether this return is the right move for the franchise and Reeves' career.
Is This the End of an Era for Keanu's Sequels?
Keanu Reeves has built a career on revisiting iconic roles, from Bill & Ted to Neo in The Matrix. But with Bill & Ted seemingly wrapped up and The Matrix possibly moving on without him, John Wick 5 could mark the end of this era. Should Reeves focus on new, standalone projects instead of revisiting past glories?
One Character's Return Could Reshape the Franchise
While John Wick himself is confirmed to return, another character from Chapter 4, Mr. Nobody, could be key to ushering in a new direction for the franchise. Mr. Nobody, the bounty hunter with a unique code, could help John navigate a world beyond the High Table, introducing new conflicts and challenges.
Nobody 2: Odenkirk's Ready for More Action!
Speaking of action stars, Bob Odenkirk is back for Nobody 2, and he's more prepared than ever! After intense training for the first film, Odenkirk has continued to hone his skills. Producer David Leitch, also a co-creator of the John Wick franchise, promises that Nobody 2 will take full advantage of Odenkirk's enhanced abilities, delivering even more thrilling action sequences.
New Villains, New Challenges
The confirmed plot detail is that John Wick 5 is going to be moving away from the High Table, telling an entirely new story with a brand-new antagonistic force. The specific details are still being kept under wraps, so fans are eager to know what challenges John Wick will face.
