Following last month's exciting announcement that John Wick 5 is officially in the works with Keanu Reeves returning to give the iconic character's story a significant new direction, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Franchise director Chad Stahelski has started to drop hints about what to expect from the upcoming film, and it seems that John Wick 5 will take a bold new path.

In a recent interview with Empire magazine, Stahelski emphasized that the film will be "really different." This shift comes as the High Table storyline, which has been central to the narrative from John Wick: Chapter 1 through Chapter 4, has now reached its conclusion.
