John Wick: Chapter 4 is the longest movie in the series, clocking in at 2 hours and 38 minutes. The director, Chad Stahelski, has now discussed the runtime and reacted to people who criticized it.
Speaking to Discussing Film, Stahelski started off by saying it’s not fair to say the movie is nearly three hours long. Its total runtime is 2 hours and 38 minutes, and this includes 10 minutes of credits. Fans will want to stick around, though, as there is a very important post-credits scene.
Stahelski went on to say the people criticizing John Wick 4’s lengthy runtime also have no problem binging a “whole season of television on a Sunday afternoon.” Stahelski also pointed out that films from directors Christopher Nolan and James Cameron are often longer. Avatar: The Way of Water, for example, was more than 3 hours long.
