Keanu Reeves, action star behind the iconic John Wick franchise, has expressed mixed feelings about the possibility of returning for a fifth instalment of the hit series. While his heart may be willing, his body, specifically his knees, might not be up for the challenge.

In a recent interview to promote his role as the villain Shadow in ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’, the 60-year-old actor was asked whether he would consider returning for another ‘John Wick’ film. His response was candid, revealing the physical toll that playing the iconic assassin has taken over the years.

“You can never say never, but my knees right now are saying, ‘You can’t do another John Wick,'” Reeves shared, as per People magazine.

Although the actor expressed a deep fondness for the role that has made him a global icon, he admitted that the physical demands of the part are becoming increasingly difficult to handle.

“So my heart wants to, but I don’t know if my knees can do it,” he said.

Despite this, Reeves remains involved in the ‘John Wick’ universe. He will reprise his role as the legendary hitman in a cameo for the upcoming spinoff ‘From the World of John Wick: Ballerina’, which is set to hit theatres on June 6.

In the ‘Ballerina’ film, Reeves’ character will appear briefly alongside a new cast, including Cisely Saldivar and Ana de Armas.

The ‘John Wick’ franchise, which began with the 2014 film, has become one of the most successful action series of all time.
