Yahoo Lifestyle Keanu Reeves Makes Bold Statement on Future of 'John Wick'
The character of John Wick may be dead but that doesn’t mean he won’t live again, Keanu Reeves jokes.
The actor who portrayed the character in four films, concluding with 2023’s John Wick: Chapter 4, acknowledged that the icon could be brought back to life.
"You know, the character's dead. He died in John Wick: Chapter 4,” Reeves acknowledged in an interview with Extra. "I know, in Hollywood you can... I know, I know, it's the Hollywood story,” he added.
However, Reeves later clarified that “right now, there isn't” any plans to bring John Wick back to life.
However, the character does turn up in another project, the forthcoming film From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, a spinoff that takes place between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4. The film, starring Ana de Armas along with Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne and others, is set for release on June 6.
When Reeves was initially asked about the possible return of John Wick, he responded, “Oh my gosh, well there’s a version of it called Ballerina, which is in the John Wick world, and John Wick makes a brief appearance,” he said. “So, other than that, I have no idea.”
Meanwhile, Reeves is keeping busy with Visionaries, a new motorcycle docuseries featuring Gard Hollinger. Reeves and Hollinger, who have founded ARCH Motorcycle as a way reimagine the motorcycle, focus on innovators who are changing the world in the new project and share their inspirational stories.
In the interview with Extra, Reeves summed up the plight of visionaries. “To be a visionary, you have to see and often times, you know, they are either celebrated or ignored,” he said.
His partner Hollinger also gave his take. “You have to have those qualities that a visionary has, you have to think outside of the box, you have to think differently,” he said. “You've helped shape and change a world, your world."
