While the fourth installment is bringing better are more intense action sequences to the audience, it has certain other things planned out which will make the movie a much more gripping and entertaining watch. For starters,John Wick: Chapter 4is introducing a bunch of new characters who according to directorChad Stahelski, have“a lot to say about John Wick from his past and present.”Adding to this, the movie will also have a longer runtime than the previous installments.John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellumhad the longest runtime out of all, finishing at a 2 hours 11 minutes mark. While the fourth movie won’t touch the 3-hour point,Stahelskistated that it is definitely in the 2.5-hour zone.
The franchise sees John Wick suffering throughout the movies and apparently, it’s only getting worse for the guy.

Figure out how to make him suffer, and then design backward.”According to the director, they have much fun finding new ways to make our favorite assassin suffer.
Well, John Wick could take a sigh of relief as apparently, there’s not going to be more suffering for him asChapter 4could be the last in the franchise. Stahelski stated that while the movie is a good continuation of the previous installments, it is also a sort of conclusion to it. Whatever the case, we can’t wait to see how it plays out!
