JohnWick4 was always meant to be the character's send-off.
The John Wick franchise since its inception in 2014 has brought gun-fu action to movie screens in an exceptional manner. Nearly ten years down the line, and three brilliant movies later, the franchise still waxed strong, and then came John Wick: Chapter 4. Blasting into cinemas earlier in the year, the sequel went on to gross over $400 million to help the franchise past the $1 billion mark.
In an interview with ScreenRant, Stahelski revealed how he decided it was the right time and way to end the quest of the Baba Yaga. The director also reveals that it was a decision made in collaboration with star act, Keanu Reeves. "Keanu and I both felt like we didn't do our best. We didn't send John Wick off to our best, and we felt a little broken up about that. We felt like we could have done better," Stahelski said of the third movie.

"So, we're like, "Okay, the only way to do it is we want to say goodbye. What's the best way to say goodbye," Stahelski explains. "Well, we got to redeem him. We got to kind of make him a good guy. We got to have his friends. We got to tie up all...
"It wasn't until really about Christmas of that year where we took a break. We brought in a friend to help take one more pass at it, and it kind of clicked. It made me sad at the end, and we could hear the music and knew what we were gonna do, and that's when it kind of made sense. 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.
