Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves has expressed doubts about reprising his role in a potential fifth instalment of the John Wick franchise, citing the physical toll the films have taken on him.

“You can never say never,” the 59-year-old actor said in an interview with CBS News.

“My knees right now are saying, ‘I can’t do another John Wick.’ So my heart does, but I don’t know if my knees can do it.”

The demanding nature of the action-packed series has left Reeves both emotionally and physically exhausted after each film.

Franchise producer Basil Iwanyk noted that Reeves has repeatedly stated he couldn’t endure the gruelling process again after every instalment.

The ambiguous ending of John Wick: Chapter 4, where John appears to succumb to his injuries, has left the door open for his return.
