'John Wick: Chapter 4' Runtime Revealed [Exclusive]

The upcoming Keanu Reeves-led sequel is the longest in the franchise.

Time can be walking out for John Wick (Keanu Reeves) however the imminent fourth installment of the gun-fu franchise surely isn’t always brief on time. Collider has found out that John Wick: Chapter 4 will clock in at 2 hours and 49 mins with credit, making it the longest within the franchise. When we last spoke to the film’s director Chad Stahelski, he promised that it might be the longest in the franchise—and it looks as if he followed via on that promise.

This news comes in the midst of the aptly named “Wick Week” which Lionsgate discovered after the Super Bowl over the weekend. Instead of strolling a Game Day industrial, Wick Week will deliver every week of exclusives, teasers, posters, and more, which seems like a pretty honest change-off. As found out last summer time, John Wick: Chapter 4 will see the titular John Wick take on his most deadly adversaries but. With the charge on his head ever-increasing, Wick takes his fight in opposition to the High Table international as he seeks out the maximum effective players within the underworld, from New York to Paris to Osaka to Berlin. The last handful of snap shots from the film have definitely leaned into the globe-trotting nature of the fourth film, with Wick fighting in frosty places and at iconic Parisian web sites.

In the lead-as much as John Wick: Chapter 4, the movie’s marketing has sincerely been leaning into clock imagery. From bullet-crammed hourglasses to ominous ticking clocks, time is on our minds. In 2014, John Wick premiered at one hundred and one mins, with the sequels John Wick: Chapter 2 and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum clocking in at 122 and 131 minutes, respectively. With John Wick: Chapter four rounding out at 169 minutes, it looks like we will anticipate quite a few high-octane movement and possibly, even higher stakes.

John Wick: Chapter 4 is far from the primary movie to optimal with a hefty runtime. Last yr noticed Black Panther: Wakanda Forever land at 161 minutes and The Batman sweep into theaters at 176 minutes, both of which featured great—and memorable—motion-packed set portions. There’s no doubt that Stahelski plans to up the ante with John Wick’s action this time round. Especially when you remember how jaw-dropping it appears inside the short snippets brought within the trailer and teasers. This is one runtime this is well worth each 2nd.

Who Else Will Return for John Wick: Chapter 4?

John Wick: Chapter four will see the go back of Ian McShane as Winston and Lance Reddick as Charon, alongside freshmen Bill Skarsgård who performs the antagonist The Marquis, Shamier Anderson as The Tracker, and Clancy Brown as The Harbinger.
