'John Wick 5' is officially happening, users joke: "They made Keanu an offer he couldn’t refuse"

The Baba Yaga is not done yet—John Wick 5 is officially in the works. Despite the very ambiguous ending of Chapter 4 (where John looked like he died), Lionsgate has confirmed they’re bringing the character back for another round of gun-fu action.

Jenefer Brown, a Lionsgate executive, dropped the update in an interview with ComicBook.com, saying:

“This world continues to grow and expand in incredible ways. Up next, of course, we have Ballerina, which is our first spin-off movie and [we] can’t wait for that to release to the world. Of course, we’ve announced we’re working on a fifth John Wick film. I think there are more spinoffs to come, a TV series, video game.”

“We’ve shared that we’re developing a fifth John Wick film … [John Wick] may be [dead]. We are all on baited breath waiting to find out.”

Naturally, while fans of the franchise are hyped, social media has questions—a lot of them. If you remember, Chapter 4 ended with John collapsing from his injuries, seemingly dead, and later, Winston and the Bowery King were straight-up standing at his gravesite.

So how exactly is this going to work?

The internet is now flooded with theories, jokes, and absolute disbelief about how they’re going to pull this off.

Channeling their inner Godfather, a user (@HmJileswrites) joked:

"They made Keanu an offer he couldn’t refuse."

Pretty sure the offer showed up in a dog costume with sad eyes.

Sharing the proof, a user stated:

"But like..."

This is the universal way of saying ‘Make it make sense.’

A user (@DoctorLoveKing) went on to say:

"Yeah right??!! Don’t play w our emotions."

Guess who is still buying tickets?

A user (@web3danaaa) went on to explain:

"John Wick 5 is happening and I’m torn. On one hand, I’ll never say no to more Keanu absolutely wrecking people in stylish suits. On the other hand, how many more of these can he survive?! 😂 I’ve seen people joking that he’ll have to fight his way out of hell next and honestly, I wouldn’t even be surprised 😅"

A user (@sonicshifts) quipped:

"John Wick is alive. I don't care what anyone says."

Sharing a hilarious GIF, a user asked:

"Again?"

This user (@InNickWeTrust) went on to give it a title:

"John Wick 5: Filmed in Hell."

Hope hell has a dog-friendly policy, or we’re getting a whole trilogy down there.

A user (@jackpajaro115) roasted saying:

"So this is the new Fast and Furious... Bye bye quality. Welcome quantity."

In Vin Diesel's voice: ‘It’s not about the bullets… it’s about family.’

One user (@uFo_98) summed it up all highlighting:

"I keep telling ppl unless we see the body they ain’t dead; movie 101."

John Wick: Chapter 4 ending

John Wick's Chapter 4 conclusion included a duel, a blind assassin, a villain who craves power, and a lot of bullets. John fights Caine in a High Table-approved duel at the Sacré-Cœur in Paris. They shoot it out, both getting severely destroyed until Caine delivers a vicious blow in the third round.

Now, the Marquis de Arrogance—otherwise known as the smug overlord of the High Table—has a change of heart and decides he gets to kill John himself for the honor. One small issue: in his haste to be the hero, he forgets to see whether John has fired his third shot yet.

John makes the most of this idiocy and takes a flawless headshot that whisks the Marquis off to the afterlife. But John, now wounded, falls on the steps, apparently dead. Though it appears to be the end, the film leaves just a little room for doubt.

Director Chad Stahelski has openly admitted they had an even more ambiguous conclusion, and fans have indicated that John's dog is a little too agitated at the gravesite scene.

That being said, Keanu Reeves himself allegedly requested a concrete conclusion, so Chapter 4 was meant to be the last ride of John. However, with John Wick 5 in the works, it appears death is just another minor hiccup for the Baba Yaga.
