Keanu Reeves is unsure about his future as John Wick.
The 60-year-old actor admitted in a recent interview with CBS News that his body might not be able to handle the physical toll of doing “John Wick 5.”
“You can never say never — but my knees right now are saying, ‘You can’t do another John Wick,’” Reeves said.
“So my heart [wants to], but I don’t know if my knees can do it,” he added.
Reeves has starred as the iconic assassin in four films from 2014 to 2023. The franchise has grossed over $1 billion worldwide.
He’s set to reprise the role in the 2025 spinoff “Ballerina” starring Ana de Armas.
Reeves, whose character was killed at the end of the fourth film, previously discussed the possibility of a fifth “John Wick” movie with Entertainment Weekly last year.
“I don’t know, I guess I’m going to have to lean on never say never,” he said.
“I mean, I wouldn’t do a John Wick film without Chad Stahelski,” Reeves added. Stahelski, 56, has directed all four “John Wick” movies.
“We’d have to see what that looked like,” Reeves continued. “For me, it feels really right that John Wick finds peace.”
After “John Wick 4” came out, producer Basil Iwanyk told Collider that Reeves asked to “definitively” be killed off in the movie.
“After the second, third, and fourth movie, making these films is so exhausting and it destroys Keanu, physically and emotionally,” Iwanyk, 54, explained.
“By the end, he’s always like, ‘I can’t do this again,’ and we agree with him,” Iwanyk added. “The guy is just a shell of himself because he just goes off and goes for it.”
The producer also said about Reeves, “He was like, ‘I want to be definitively killed at the end of this movie.’ We were like, ‘You know, we’ll leave a 10 percent little opening.’”
Iwanyk added to Collider that the future of the “John Wick” franchise, aside from the “Ballerina” movie, is still being figured out.
“We all want another ‘John Wick.’ We don’t know what it looks like and when it will happen, but we love each other and we love this world,” he said. “It’s going to be all hands to try to figure it out. Have we figured it out? No. And if we can’t figure it out, will there be one? No, of course not. No one is going to try to just jam it for the sake of jamming it.”
