Hollywood star Keanu Reeves pleaded for his titular character in John Wick: Chapter 4 to be “definitively killed” at the end of the movie, according to one of the producers.
Basil Iwanyk has revealed how the 59-year-old Hollywood star was left so “physically and emotionally destroyed” after shooting the motion picture that he wanted his character – a former hitman who is forced back into the criminal underworld – to be axed, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“After the second, third, and fourth movie, making these films is so exhausting and it destroys Keanu, physically and emotionally. By the end, he’s always like, ‘I can’t do this again,’ and we agree with him,” Iwanyk said to Collider.
Iwanyk admitted Reeves is like a “shell of himself” at the end of filming because he gives so much to the part. He added: “The guy is just a shell of himself because he just goes off and goes for it. He was like, ‘I wanna be definitively killed at the end of this movie.’
In May, it was revealed John Wick 5 is in the early stages of development. Lionsgate chairman Joe Drake revealed at the time that a fifth movie was already in the works. (IANS)
