“After part four, we felt the production was tiring. We ruined Keanu. He suffered so much that he had to say, ‘I can’t do it anymore’ at the end of the last scene. We agree with that,” Iwanyk said.
During the filming of John Wick 4 , the actor experienced many risky scenes, including sitting in a car without doors, gunfights at the Arc de Triomphe, France, chasing horses… The actor said he was tired. for keeping pursuing the series.

“I want my character to be killed at the end of the movie,” Keanu Reeves told the director.
To “follow” Reeves’ wishes, the director let the character John Wick collapse in front of the Sacré Coeur church, followed by the scene where the characters Winston and the Bowery King visit John Wick’s grave. The open ending makes the audience doubt the future of the film.
