It's done. Let it be. We don't need more. Make something new.

Edit: unless of course John Wick 5 will be John retired to Wyoming where he works his ranch, and trains working dogs on the side.

Agree. Let it be done.

The only way he should return is if it's an "old man wick" Cameo. Just to fuck with the fans.

This is the John Wick I want to see. Have an assassin come to kill him, but he's so starstruck by Wick that he has to take the opportunity to socialize with him. John makes meals for his soon-to-be killer, lets the assassin help him work the land and tend to his animals.

Days turn to weeks turn to months. We learn that John Wick only keeps a snake gun around, no other armory; no opportunities to find out "could Wick still have held his own in the end."

The assassin helps fake John's death, then moves on with a new appreciating for patience and noticing the little things. The assassin then realizes how awful the association is that they work for. They become heartbroken and disillusioned. They move on, leaving the story open on whether they're gonna take down their own employers.

Then, if the audience and studio wants another action movie, they can decide from there, leaving Keanu out of it. At most, he can be a cameo for where assassins go to relax and learn from each other. Wick can be kept safe by the constant flow of assassins visiting and seeking expanded horizons.

"My Dinner with John"

[–] Anticorp 6 points 1 week ago

See? That's something people would watch. Hollywood, take note.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I would pay money to watch this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

This is a great idea, but I don't want it to be a rehash of "you can't escape your past". No shots fired, no flashbacks, as little dialogue as possible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How the heck does a snake use a gun though?

Just like Barry used to have

Knowing modern Hollywood, it will be him training a protege who will then go on to star in a spin off series.

Man could pull a Steven Seagull and murder people from the comfort of an office chair.

Difference is Keanu would make it look badass.

Say it's impossible to choke him out and then shit himself?
