The Ambiguous Fate of John Wick
The fate of John Wick at the end of Chapter 4 remains ambiguous, allowing for various interpretations of the character’s future. Director Chad Stahelski commented on this uncertainty, stating, “Whether you think John — or John Wick — is dead, that’s your interpretation.

Teasing the Possibility of Chapter 5
Stahelski has also teased the possibility of John Wick: Chapter 5, revealing that he and Reeves plan to discuss the future of the franchise after taking a three-month break. “We’ll have a couple [of] 20-year-old whiskies and write some ideas on napkins. If those ideas stick, maybe we’ll make a movie,” the director shared.
