00:07John Wick Chapter 4 had widely been expected to be the final installment of the action

00:12franchise, but a fifth installment is back on the table after the movie's massive box office

00:17opening. Directed by Chad Stahelski and returning star Keanu Reeves as the iconic assassin,

00:22the action pick served up a huge $73.8 million domestically and $67.6 million overseas for a

00:30global start of $141.4 million, making this a series record. John Wick 4 is also the second

00:38best domestic opening of Reeves' live-action career behind The Matrix Reloaded. Making a fifth

00:44installment of John Wick is no small challenge, considering that Reeves' character seemingly

00:48meets his demise at the end of Chapter 4. But on Sunday, Lionsgate's Joe Drake told The Hollywood

00:54Reporter that a John Wick 5 is no longer out of the question. There's a will and there's an

00:59openness, and you could certainly interpret that ending in different ways. Another possibility

01:03would be a prequel requiring Reeves playing a far younger version of the character than we'd ever

01:08seen. Regardless of John Wick 5's fate, there will be more Reeves as the character in the future,

01:13even if it's not in the lead role. He shows up in Ballerina, the series' first

01:18spinoff that stars Ana de Armas as another determined assassin and is expected to hit theaters next

01:24year. For more details on this story, head to THR.com. And for the latest entertainment news
