Exploring the John Wick Film Series: A Comprehensive Guide

Keanu Reeves is one of the most beloved action stars of all time, and his role in the John Wick franchise is a major reason why. As recounted in the 2022 book “They Shouldn’t Have Killed His Dog,” the original script for “John Wick” called for a 75-year-old actor, but Reeves and his agents were determined to find a new action flick for him and connected with the story. After two months of working on the script with screenwriter Derek Kolstad, the 2014 movie was released and became a hit, revitalizing Reeves’s career. So far, there have been three sequels and a fifth installment is in development, as well as an Ana de Armas-starring spinoff, “Ballerina,” set to be released in the future. Here is a look at the four John Wick movies that have been released so far, in order.
