About John Wick: Chapter 4 Movie:
John Wick: Chapter 4 is the sequel to John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) and the fourth installment in the John Wick franchise.
Development of the fourth John Wick film, formally announced by Lionsgate in May 2019, was confirmed before the release of its predecessor.
It is the first film in the franchise that was not written by franchise creator Derek Kolstad, with Shay Hatten hired in May 2020, followed by Finch in March 2021.
Principal photography began on June 28, 2021, on a $100 million budget, and took place in France, Germany, New York City, and Japan.
Stahelski described an early cut of John Wick: Chapter 4 as “screwed” because the expanded worldbuilding of its title character and the introduction of new characters took 225 minutes of screen time. Nathan Orloff edited the film substantially to reduce the runtime to 169 minutes. The film was originally subtitled Hagakure, to match Parabellum.
The original release date of May 21, 2021, was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. John Wick: Chapter 4 premiered at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on March 6, 2023, and was released in the United States on March 24. The film was positively received by critics for its action sequences, cinematography, choreography, and performances, and has grossed over $432 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film in the franchise.
A spin-off, John Wick Presents: Ballerina, is set for release on June 6, 2025, while a fifth film is in development.
John Wick: Chapter 4 was released digitally on May 23, 2023. The Blu-ray, 4K UHD, and DVD were released on June 13, 2023. An extended cut was confirmed by the director on June 21, to be released at an unspecified date.
