At the end of John Wick: Chapter 4, John seemingly died after killing the Marquis Vincent Bisset de Gramont in a duel and clearing his debt with the High Table. According to Stahelski, the next time we see the master assassin, he will have moved on from his past and will be taking on a new threat.

Speaking to Empire, Chad Stahelski shared, "The saga of John Wick was pretty wrapped up, so the only way to do a 5 is to have a new story that involves John Wick. It's not a continuation of the High Table. John dealt with his grief. It will be very different, and everybody [will] see the trailer and go, 'Holy f**k... I gotta go see that.'"
