KUALA LUMPUR: Film director Chad Stahelski has recently revealed that the upcoming John Wick sequel film will be the longest film in the series to date.

While he did not mention the exact runtime in an interview with Collider, that would put the upcoming film to be at least 131 minutes, or 2 hours 11 minutes long, based on John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum.

By comparison, John Wick Chapter 2 and the original movie clocked in 122 minutes and 101 minutes respectively.

John Wick 4 is not due to arrive until next year, but it seems to be incredibly close to completion.

"We're on the final stretch for picture lock, and then we have our VFX music," said Stahelski.

Apart from a first-look image and a trailer debut, however, nothing is known about the movie's story just yet.

John Wick 4 is currently slated to premiere on May 23, 2024, with Keanu Reeves reprising his role as the titular assassin.

Joining him are Laurence Fishburn (The Matrix), Donnie Yen (Ip Man), Japanese-British pop singer Rina Sawayama, Hiroyuki Sanada (Army Of The Dead), Marko Zaror (From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series).

Others are Shamier Anderson (Wynonna Earp), Bill Skarsgård (It: Chapter Two), Scott Adkins (The Bourne Ultimatum), and Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption).
