John Wick: Chapter 4 director Chad Stahelski has hinted at what lies ahead in the next installment of the action thriller franchise. 

"I think Chapter 4 is a good continuation of all three previous films, and it's got a bit of a conclusion to it, which is great," he told Collider. "We introduce a ton of new characters that have a lot to say about John Wick from his past and from, obviously, present. I think it's brotherhood, it's hope. It's what the life would really be like as a bit of an existential crisis with John, and I think that's the fun part of the movie."

Stahelski added: "There's a good conclusion to an emotional thread that we've already had."

Alongside Keanu Reeves, who returns as the titular hitman, the cast of the upcoming movie also sees the return of Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane, and Lance Reddick, as well as new additions Rina Sawayama, Donnie Yen, Shamier Anderson, and Bill Skarsgård.
