The firstJohn Wickmoviewas released in 2014, and the franchise has only gotten more successful and critically acclaimed since.

Every film in theJohn Wickfranchise is arguably better than the last, which is rare for movie series.

This theory has seemingly been confirmed sinceJohn Wick 5is confirmedto be in development.

This means thattheJohn Wickfranchise can finally return to its roots after three action-packed movies.

However, I am hoping that the fifth film is set after the events ofJohn Wick: Chapter 4.

At the beginning of the first film, John Wick has been in retirement for many years.

To cope with his sadness, John buys a dog at the beginning of the 2014 film.

However, this dog is killed when a group of men breaks into his home.

John coming out of retirement once again inJohn Wick 5would bring the franchise back to its roots.

It is undeniable that all theJohn Wickmovies have been bigger and more ambitious than the last.

After all,there are budget and box office expectations forJohn Wick 5.

The series explores themes of loyalty, honor, and survival in a secret society of assassins.
