John Wick 4 Will Be the Longest Movie of the Series

John Wick 4 is set to be the action-thriller franchise's longest entry yet.

Returning director Chad Stahelski confirmed as much during a recent chat with Collider, meaning the latest neon-soaked Keanu Reeves punch-up clocks in at 132 minutes, at the very least.

2019's third movie Parabellum, which will now hold second spot, ran for 131 minutes.

The stuntman-turned-filmmaker also explained to the publication just how close they are to completing the John Wick 4 edit.

"We're on the final stretch for picture lock, and then we have our VFX music. But this is the furthest along I've ever been, this much in post.

"We love the music that we've got so far," Stahelski teased. "We still have Tyler Bates doing the composition on some of the bigger sequences. VFX are going to be coming in throughout the rest of the year. But we're dangerously close.

"In our edit, as far as our picture lock goes, we're within a few minutes of locking. Our sequences are done. The movie is essentially done. There's probably another few weeks of tweaking overall, then we lock picture, and we're about music, sound and the effects."

Although the fourth instalment is still officially untitled, John Wick newcomer Shamier Anderson (he's onboard as a character named Tracker) previously hinted that its subtitle is Hagakure.

Baffled by that one? We're not surprised. Hagakure refers to an 18th-century Japanese text.
