Are Bill & Ted Coming Back for a Fourth Movie? Keanu Reeves Says Yes!

It feels like we just got the Wyld Stallyns back together, but fans are already asking the big question: will we get a Bill & Ted 4? After waiting nearly three decades for Bill & Ted Face the Music, the idea of another excellent adventure seems almost too good to be true. But according to the stars themselves, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, another trip in the time-traveling phone booth might be more likely than you think.

So, what’s the latest a-foot at the Circle K? Let’s dive in.

A Most Excellent Confirmation

The biggest news comes straight from Keanu Reeves. While promoting a new Broadway play with his lifelong friend and co-star Alex Winter, the duo was asked if they would be up for a fourth film.

Reeves didn’t hesitate. His answer was a clear and enthusiastic, “Yes and yes.”

You can’t get much more direct than that! It’s awesome to know that the man behind Ted “Theodore” Logan is totally on board. This wasn’t just a casual comment, either. He and Winter were discussing their incredible off-screen friendship, which they are bringing to the stage in a production of Waiting for Godot. Winter noted that their real-life history is perfect for the play, and it seems that same bond is pulling them back toward their most iconic roles.

More Than Just an Idea

This isn’t the first time the topic has come up. A couple of years ago, Alex Winter confirmed that the creative team was already kicking around ideas for another sequel. He made it very clear that they would only do it if the story was perfect.

It Has to Be the Right Story

One thing that makes the Bill & Ted movies so special is that they come from a place of genuine love. Winter explained that they have never been “cash-grab movies.” The whole team, including the original writers, is committed to making something that feels right for the characters and their bizarre, optimistic world.

He said they were “tinkering with a fourth movie idea that all of us like,” which is a huge first step.

An “Obvious” Next Step?

Here’s where it gets really interesting. Winter teased that the writers have a “really great idea” that he described as “kind of obvious.” He didn’t want to spoil anything, but that little hint is enough to get any fan’s mind racing.

What could be the obvious next adventure for Bill and Ted?

• Do they travel to the future to see how their daughters, Billie and Thea, are doing?
• Does Death need their help with another cosmic problem?
• Do they have to unite an entire galaxy with their music this time?

Whatever it is, the fact that the creators have a clear direction is the most promising news we could hope for.

So, Will It Actually Happen?

All signs point to yes, but we might need to be a little patient. Remember, it took forever to get Face the Music made. However, that movie proved there’s still a huge audience for these characters. While its box office numbers were low (thanks to a 2020 pandemic release), it was a massive hit on-demand, showing that people are ready to rock on with the Wyld Stallyns.

With the actors and writers all interested and a story idea in place, the path is clear. It’s just a matter of getting all the pieces together.
