10 Beloved Movie Legacies At Risk Of Being Ruined Forever

10. John Wick

Can't the man rest? By the sounds of it, apparently not, seeing as a fifth John Wick film has been officially greenlit at Lionsgate with franchise figurehead Chad Stahelski returning to direct.  

Now, when it comes to the titular assassin in question, we were led to believe that death had finally caught up to him at the end of 2023's fantastic fourth and suspected final chapter. And although there is an ambiguous shot, which is by no means a coincidence, of his supposed resting place before the screen goes black and the credits roll, it felt like Keanu Reeves' beloved action man had finally found peace through death. But, of course, he isn't dead.

Reeves' resurrection and subsequent reprisal of the character will be welcomed by many, understandably. However, it is only natural to feel a little worried about the decision, especially given that the actor is now 60 years old.

The adopted and shared cinematic trope of 'dead doesn't actually mean dead' that has dominated films as of late can be a tedious and, honestly, tiresome approach to storytelling for the sheer purpose of making money, and you can't help but feel that this is the case here. 

Stahelski has dispelled theories that John Wick could be indestructible in the past, so it would simply be another instance of the character's unmatched resilience and resistance to death that keeps him going. Please make it worthwhile, guys...
