John Wick 4: Curious request from Keanu Reeves to the producers



Keanu Reeves and Daniel Craig, same argument?

All good things must come to an end, and that’s apparently what was going through Keanu Reeves’ mind when he approached the production of John Wick: Chapter 4the latest work in the saga that began in 2014. Nine years and four films featuring the actor kill your enemies by the hundreds, getting regularly beaten, injured and chased relentlessly and performing as many stunts himself as possible. In the image, John Wick often suffers, although he remains the most relentless and deadly of assassins. John Wick exhausted, would Keanu Reeves be too? ?

“Destroys Keanu, physically and mentally”

In an interview with Collideron the occasion of the promotion of the spin-off series The continentalFranchise producer Basil Iwanyk provided an answer to that question, revealing that Keanu Reeves had requested that John Wick dies at the end of the fourth film, to take a well-deserved retirement from this character. An initiative that is not new, insofar as Daniel Craig had formulated it the same desire for his James Bondafter 16 years of good and loyal service in Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

After the second film, the third, the fourth… Making these films is exhausting and destroys Keanu, physically and mentally. At the end of every take he always says: “I can’t do this anymore” and we agree with him. He is nothing but a shadow of himself, because he constantly gives everything. So he said, “I definitely want to get killed at the end of this movie.” We replied: “We will still leave a 10% margin”.

Basil Iwanyk also explains that, together with Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves, they form such a close-knit team – and the success has always been there – that it was difficult for them to take a break, even when one of the members of this team felt the need for it . But Keanu Reeves’ request seems to have been heard this time, right from the end John Wick: Chapter 4 indicates that the hero is dead, who died on the steps of the Sacré-Coeur after definitively defeating La Grande Table. Dead, but really dead? In fact, a mystery remains about the real fate of the character, who we see dying but not really dead. Let’s say he actually exists 10% chance it isn’t
