The success of the John Wick films is huge. The latest installment, John Wick: Chapter 4, grossed over $140 million its opening weekend globally. However, there was never talk of a 5th episode as Wiek seemingly meets his demise (sort of - Wick is never shown dead) at the end of 'Chapter 4', until now!
Lionsgate, the franchise producer, wants a 5th Wick, and nothing is impossible in Hollywood even a death-rise. If there is a 5th film, Keanu Reeves would return but not necessarily in the lead role.
There is a spinoff of the series already in development, 'Ballerina', which is schedule for release next year. It stars Ana de Armas, as a female Wick style assassin. The chronology of this film fits between John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and Chapter 4.

I really like the Wick franchise and think a 5th episode will be made but that would be the last we will see of Baba Yaga.
Another thought would be to make a prequel to the original John Wick which would delve into how Wick got started and become the top hit man.
At 59, Reeves indicated Wick role is physically very demanding.
