We chat with JohnWickChapter4 director Chad Stahelski about the new movie's ending, the upcoming Ballerina, a new JohnWick TV series in the works, and characters that he wants to explore more:

John Wick: Chapter 4 follows the titular anti-hero after he has healed from the events of Parabellum and is ready to target the High Table. John Wick goes after the High Table leadership, becoming a bigger threat than ever, causing them to send the Marquis Vincent de Gramont to stop him by whatever means necessary. As his allies become targets, old friends become foes, and John Wick makes his final stand.

Chad Stahelski on John Wick: Chapter 4 Screen Rant: John Wick: Chapter 4 is amazing! I binged the first three the night before I saw John Wick: Chapter 4 and it's so good! Chad Stahelski: That's a pretty full experience. Yeah. I feel like I was just used to it by the time I got to the second one though, so it worked. I love John Wick: Chapter 4 I thought the entire story arc was amazing the action was phenomenal, and I love the world-building you do.

Then I gotta go here and I want to go to Morocco and I want to do... and it kind of grew. So it ended up getting to the point where we couldn't fit all the story in one. We had some of the ideas from John Wick four in that. It just felt like where we ended that movie was a good time to end it. Keanu and I had figured, "Well, John Wick three was our last one. We got lucky. People like the movie." We felt that we had done pretty good.

So in a very long winded answer to your question, it really wasn't until it landed in that version of the script, literally, less than five months before we started shooting, it felt right. That's all I can say. I wish I could tell you I thought it was amazing. All this was our plan, but nothing really felt right til you read it, and you could see it. Me and Keanu both looked up and smiled. You could feel yourself getting choked up.

If I took you right now and dropped you in a city, which has happened to me hundreds of times, dropped into a city I've never been before. Now you got the weekend off going, "Okay, what do we do?" You can either stay in your hotel room and watch Netflix or you get out and you just start walking and then you discover stuff. But once you discover it's yours. I'm not forcing it on you and it's the same thing. If you figure out what's on John's back for a tattoo.

Chad Stahelski: Yeah, look, there's no one we put into these things that don't interest me. I know, they're all whether you want to call them supporting cast or ancillary characters. There's nobody I tried to put in, especially a number four... Again, just for your your people out there, a director is not a director is not director. It would be hard for me to be the same guy who directed one, two, three, and four. One was my first one.

I'm very excited for Ballerina because we get to meet an entirely new character, which is very exciting. But we also get to learn more about John because she's someone that's going through similar training as him. I'm assuming we're going to see him from a different character's perspective.

And I love Donnie Yen in John Wick 4. Caine was such a cool character. I was curious if you took any inspiration from Rogue One, where he also played a blind character that did a decent amount of action. Are there any stories that you think you would like to return as director for? The Continental and Ballerina you're involved more as a producer.

You're gonna be working on some movies outside of John. What are you excited to bring from your experience on John Wick into those new worlds?
