00:00You ever feel like some stories aren't done yet, even when they say they are?
00:04Like, you watch that final scene, the music fades, the credits roll, but something in
00:09your gut says, nah.
00:11That ain't the end.
00:12That's how I felt when I watched the end of John Wick, Chapter 4.
00:16Sitting there, heart racing, eyes wide, brain spinning.
00:19They said he was dead.
00:21But something about it just didn't sit right.
00:23You felt it too, didn't you?
00:26Like, John Wick doesn't just end like that.
00:28Let's be honest this character, this world, this whole crazy universe that was built
00:33from nothing but a pencil, a dog, and a man with pain in his eyes, it became something
00:38way bigger than just a bunch of action movies.
00:40It became personal.
00:41It became ours.
00:43So when they dropped that little tease in April 2025 John Wick 5 confirmed the internet broke.
00:48But here's the catch, even with that announcement, not everything is as simple as it sounds.
00:53Because what Chad Stahelski said after.
00:55That made it clear.
00:56The studio wants it.
00:58The fans are begging for it.
01:00But Chad?
01:01Chad's not just gonna do another sequel just to cash in.
01:04He literally said, and I quote, we have a really good couple of ideas, and we're gonna
01:09try.
01:10You hear that?
01:11Try.
01:12Not commit.
01:13Not start shooting.
01:14Just, try.
01:15That hits different, right?
01:17And look, I respect it.
01:19Because this man, this team, they care.
01:22They're not just throwing together another chapter.
01:24They're trying to create something phenomenal, something that actually matters.
01:29Like, let me break it down if they're bringing Keanu back, after that ending, it better be
01:34good.
01:34It better be earned.
01:36Because if you watch chapter 4, then you remember, John didn't just bleed.
01:40He broke.
01:41Emotionally, physically, spiritually.
01:44And if you're like me, that final scene?
01:46It haunted you.
01:48Wick, slumped on those stairs, whispering take me home.
01:51The cemetery.
01:53The grave.
01:54His name beside his wife's.
01:55And yet, we didn't see a body.
01:58We didn't see them zip a bag.
01:59We didn't see them lower anything into the ground.
02:02It was cinematic silence.
02:04Ambiguity.
02:05And in the John Wick universe?
02:07That means everything.
02:08There's this thing filmmakers do.
02:10It's called planting doubt.
02:11They want you to wonder.
02:13To lean forward.
02:14To ask questions.
02:16And man, they did that so well here.
02:18Remember the dog?
02:19That final look?
02:21That moment where it almost felt like, he sensed something?
02:24Like he knew?
02:25That was no accident.
02:27That was a breadcrumb.
02:28And then came ballerina.
02:30Oh my god.
02:31When I saw Keanu back on screen even though it's not his movie I felt something in my chest.
02:36That ache.
02:37That pull.
02:38Because no matter what new assassins or ballet killers show up, there's still this one shadow that covers it all.
02:44John Wick.
02:44He's the center.
02:46The reason this universe breathes.
02:48So yeah, it's been confirmed.
02:50John Wick 5 is officially in development.
02:52But the key word here is development.
02:55There's no release date.
02:56No trailer.
02:57No behind the scenes pics.
02:59No cast list.
03:01Just an idea.
03:02A heartbeat.
03:03And it's all being held in the hands of people who actually give a damn.
03:07Which, honestly, makes me feel better.
03:09Because they're not just making a movie.
03:12They're protecting a legacy.
03:13Now, let's talk about the cast.
03:16Because if you're anything like me, your brain immediately goes,
03:19Wait, is Keanu actually coming back?
03:22And here's the crazy part yes.
03:24He's in.
03:25It's confirmed.
03:26Keanu is returning.
03:27And now you're like, how?
03:29Right?
03:30Like, how do you come back from death when the whole world just watched you die?
03:34Here's where it gets interesting.
03:36Chad Stahelski, the director the architect of this chaos said something that stuck with me.
03:41He mentioned that there's a version of the ending where Wick survives.
03:44Yeah, let that sink in.
03:46They filmed an alternate ending.
03:48They played with that idea.
03:50Which means the whole death scene.
03:52It might have been a smoke screen.
03:53Think about it.
03:54This man survived being stabbed, shot, thrown off buildings, run over you name it.
04:00And this is what kills him?
04:01A duel?
04:02After everything?
04:03Come on.
04:04No way.
04:05That's not how legends die.
04:07That's how they disappear.
04:09That's how they escape.
04:10And I know people have theories.
04:12Oh man, the theories.
04:14Some say Winston helped him vanish.
04:16Some say the Bowery King arranged it.
04:19Some say he's in hiding, pulling strings.
04:22But whatever it is, it's not the end.
04:24You can feel that.
04:25You can feel it.
04:27Now let's talk who else might be back.
04:29Winston?
04:30Definitely.
04:31He got his hotel back.
04:33He's still playing the long game.
04:34The Bowery King?
04:35I mean, come on.
04:37Lawrence Fishburne's not done chewing scenery.
04:40That man is theater.
04:41I want more of him.
04:43More monologues.
04:44More pigeons.
04:45Just more.
04:46But there's a hole, man.
04:48A big one.
04:49Lance Reddick.
04:50Gone.
04:51And that hurts.
04:52Like, not just for the story.
04:54For real.
04:55For us.
04:56Because Karen was the heart.
04:58The calm in the storm.
05:00The quiet power.
05:01His absence is gonna echo through every frame.
05:03And I hope they honor him.
05:05Not with some quick tribute.
05:07I mean a real, beautiful moment.
05:09Because he deserves that.
05:11Then there's Donnie Yen.
05:12His character Kane was a revelation.
05:14The elegance.
05:15The precision.
05:16The pain.
05:17And let's not forget that post-credits scene.
05:20Akira, walking up behind him, blade in hand.
05:24Her father's revenge.
05:25It's coming.
05:26And yet, Kane's getting his own spin-off.
05:28So we know he survives or at least, makes it long enough for that story to matter.
05:33So here's the question.
05:35Will their stories merge in WIC 5?
05:37Because here's what I'm thinking and I want you to ride this train of thought with me.
05:41What if WIC isn't just alive, but watching?
05:43Planning?
05:44Maybe even pulling the strings behind these spin-offs.
05:47What if John is the secret thread that ties all of this together?
05:50That would be wild, right?
05:52And you can't ignore the tracker.
05:54Shamir Anderson's character was a mystery.
05:56No name.
05:58No past.
05:59Just a dog, a journal, and a deadly calm.
06:02He had this whole neutral but dangerous vibe that made him instantly fascinating.
06:06And the way he stepped back at the end?
06:08That wasn't cowardice.
06:10That was choice.
06:11That was future setup.
06:12So here's where we're at.
06:14We've got WIC probably alive.
06:16Winston and the Bowery King definitely pulling strings.
06:19Kane and Akira their fight unfinished.
06:21Tracker lurking.
06:23And Yves Macaro Anadarmus's character from Ballerina still out there, still breathing.
06:27That's not just a cast.
06:29That's a storm waiting to break.
06:31But what's the story?
06:32What's the actual plot?
06:34That's the million dollar question.
06:36And the truth is, we don't know.
06:38Not really.
06:39Chad Stahelski's been clear.
06:41They're still shaping it.
06:43Still trying to find the soul of it.
06:45Because that's the key.
06:46These movies aren't just about cool kills and gun-fu.
06:49They're about grief.
06:51About freedom.
06:52About a man who lost everything and found revenge wasn't enough.
06:55So where do you go after peace?
06:57What do you do after the war is over?
06:59Maybe John finds a new reason.
07:01Maybe someone he helped needs his help now.
07:04Or maybe and hear me on this maybe the high table isn't done with him.
07:07Maybe they let him go, and now they want him back.
07:10That would be terrifying.
07:12Because WIC won't go quietly.
07:14He never does.
07:15Let me break it down.
07:16This could go a few ways.
07:18WIC faked his death and is rebuilding a new life until something drags him back.
07:22The spin-offs start to unravel a bigger conspiracy, and John is the only one who can end it.
07:27Someone comes for the people he cared about Winston, the Bowery King, Akira and that brings him back into the
07:33light.
07:33Each of those?
07:34That's a movie I'd buy tickets for.
07:37Twice.
07:38With popcorn.
07:39And maybe some tissues, because you know it's gonna hit deep.
07:42Now, real quick, let's talk about what we don't have.
07:46There's no trailer.
07:47No poster.
07:48No set pics.
07:49Filming hasn't even started yet.
07:51This thing is still cooking.
07:53And that means we've got time.
07:55Time to speculate.
07:56To re-watch.
07:57To imagine.
07:58And in the middle of all this?
08:00We've got a community.
08:01Us.
08:02People who get it.
08:03Who felt every blow, every stare, every bullet.
08:07People who know that John Wick isn't just a man.
08:09He's an idea.
08:11A promise.
08:12That no matter how far you fall, you can still fight.
08:15That love even when it's gone can still move mountains.
08:18So if you're with me if you've felt all of this like I have hit that like button.
08:22Leave a comment with your theory.
08:24Tell me where you think John Wick is right now.
08:26Hit subscribe, because when this movie drops, you know I'll be here breaking it all down.
08:31Scene by scene.
08:33Frame by frame.
08:34And more than anything?
08:35Share this.
08:37Send it to that friend who cried at the end of chapter 4.
08:40Send it to your dad who thinks Wick is the coolest dude alive.
08:43Send it to anyone who's ever said, just one more chapter.
08:46Because this?
08:47This isn't over.
08:49Not by a long shot.
08:50And when that first teaser drops, when we finally see Keanu back in the suit, back in the shadows, back
08:56in the fight.
08:57We'll be ready.
08:58Together.
