Honestly? They've stretched the current story out so far that I'm sick of it. I went to see the 3rd one to see how they'd end it.
But, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - they couldn't end it. They've got to milk this thing for all they can. The story is too thin to carry this many movies. My give a shit ran out.
I would LOVE to see Wick in a new story that has nothing to do with this story. Get him back to having a hard target to kill, make it a challenge, but Wick VS The World has just become absurd. I'm over it.

4th could be against the high table, 5th could be against The Elder. Although if this banks, it’ll go to a 6th and beyond with this story.

I'm with you guys. Expanding the world was necessary, but they are definitely dragging it out. Time to move on from the current High Table stuff.
And no more Wick falling off 8 story buildings and walking away. Much like the Fast & Furious franchise, the world is already absurd but there's still a fine line between absurd fun and ridiculously stupid.

I think the first Wick movie did the dual job of having absurd fun and ridiculously stupid at the same time. It's slowly trended towards stupid ever since.

I can't see Keanu being happy to continue this route unless there's a good story, so I'm hoping they are conferring with him as to an end game that is satisfying. At this point, it's like grinding out a repetitive video game and each movie has concluded in a boss fight.

Just give me a threadbare story, and let Keanu pile a couple hundred dead bodies on top of it. That's what a good Wick flick is about.

Keanu has a ton of money already and most of it goes towards his philanthropic projects. He doesn't seem to do films for money, but rather what interests him. Just look at his filmography since the first John Wick. I'm sure he could have picked a lot more profitable films than the one's he's chosen to be in.

Yeah, if it was just Wick running around shooting people I think Keanu would have bailed already. He's in it for the world building and growing the character.

or being shot multiple times, stabbed multiple times, etc. I guess that what makes John Wick, John Wick, the mortally invincible...

For some reason I thought this was already shot and rumored to be released around the same time as "The Matrix 4". Did I read that correctly somewhere? A little bummed it hasn't started filming yet.
