Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter aren’t done being excellent just yet: the duo hint the door to Bill and Ted 4 is still open as they reunite on Broadway in Waiting for Godot, running through January 2026.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter were asked the one question every Bill & Ted fan still has: would they do a fourth movie? They did not hedge.

So... Bill & Ted 4?

The two are currently co-starring in 'Waiting for Godot' on Broadway — it opened last month and is slated to run through January 2026 — and while promoting the play, Variety asked if they would team up again for a fourth Bill & Ted film. Reeves gave the clean, no-qualifiers answer fans wanted.

'Yes and yes,' Reeves said.

To be clear: that is enthusiasm, not a green light. No script, no studio announcement, no production timeline. But both guys are game, which is the first domino you want to see fall.

Quick refresher on the Wyld Stallyns saga

  • 1989: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure — Directed by Stephen Herek. Alex Winter plays Bill S. Preston, Keanu Reeves plays Ted Logan. Two well-meaning but not-exactly-academic high school bandmates risk flunking history, which would ship Ted off to military school. Enter Rufus (George Carlin), a time traveler who shows up in a phone booth to help them pass by scooping up key figures from history for their presentation. The movie earned positive reviews and made $40.5 million worldwide.
  • 1991: Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey — The sequel pulled in $38 million worldwide and got mixed reviews at the time. Both films settled into cult-classic status over the years.
  • 2020: Bill & Ted Face the Music — Nearly three decades later, the duo returns with one job: write the song that will save humanity. The cast includes Kristen Schaal, Samara Weaving, Jack Haven, Anthony Carrigan, Erinn Hayes, Jayma Mays, Holland Taylor, Kid Cudi, William Sadler, and Jillian Bell. Released during the COVID-19 pandemic, it only grossed $6.3 million worldwide.

What this actually means

This is the first real signal in a while that both leads are open to another adventure. Given the Broadway schedule, it is not like they are turning around and shooting next month, but if someone brings them the right idea at the right time, the door is open. In Hollywood terms, 'yes and yes' is about as promising as it gets without paperwork.
