HE to Stahelski: If you were even half-thinking about making a fifth Wick film, why the hell did you kill him at the close of the present installment? He’s dead and buried, man. If you bring finality, you need to respect finality. Simple.
There’s one way I’ll accept a fifth. Make it a stripped-down, bare-bones, less-is-more prequel. Reverse the engine and renounce the ridiculous over-the-topness of the current model. True, a certain percentage of the style junkies who love John Wick 4 will feel betrayed — “hey, where’s the absurdity?” To which I say, “Fuck ’em if they can’t take a joke.”
