Following last month’s news that John Wick 5 is official and Keanu Reeves had signed on to “give John’s story the proper next step,” franchise director Chad Stahelski has begun to tease what fans can expect from the film — and it sounds like things are going to be different this time around.

This new direction suggests that Chapter 5 will explore uncharted territory, both in terms of plot and character development. Fans can expect a Wick who is no longer defined by his grief, but rather by a new set of challenges and storylines that will keep them on the edge of their seats.
