Keanu Reeves has given a definitive response regarding his potential return as the legendary hitman John Wick, bluntly stating "the character's dead" in a recent interview.
The actor, beloved for his portrayal of the vengeful assassin across four action-packed films, addressed speculation about future appearances in the franchise. "He died in John Wick: Chapter 4," Reeves emphasized, acknowledging that while Hollywood often finds ways to resurrect characters, there are currently no plans for his return.
Despite ruling out another mainline John Wick film, fans will still get to see Reeves don the iconic black suit one more time in the upcoming spin-off "Ballerina." The film, starring Ana de Armas, takes place before the events of Chapter 4 and follows a new protagonist seeking vengeance for her father's death.
The spin-off will feature Reeves in a supporting role, with his character assisting de Armas's vengeful hero in what promises to be another action-packed entry in the franchise's universe.
While John Wick's story may have reached its conclusion in Chapter 4, the franchise continues to expand with new characters and storylines, proving there's still plenty of life in this stylish action series - even if its original hero has taken his final bow.
