During the interview, Reeves discussed possibly returning to the “John Wick” franchise for a fifth installment.

He added, “So my heart does, but I don’t know if my knees can do it.”
Fowler chimed in, referencing Reeves’ upcoming role as the voice of Shadow in “Sonic the Hedgehog.” The film director said lightheartedly, “Which is why you can voice Shadow for, like, decades to come. There are no physical limitations, just your voice.”
Reeves laughed and agreed with Fowler, saying, “I’m free.”
Although Reeves is not certain to star in a fifth “John Wick” installment, he will definitely reprise his role in a cameo for the franchise’s upcoming spinoff movie, “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,” which is set for release in June 2025.
