John Wick 5 is officially in the works, with Lionsgate confirming that the 60-year-old Keanu Reeves will reprise his iconic role. The exciting news was shared on-stage at CinemaCon by Adam Fogelson, the chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. The development of John Wick: Chapter 5 is underway, with the franchise's key players—producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee from Thunder Road, director and producer Chad Stahelski, and star and producer Keanu Reeves—all returning to the project. Although no specific release window has been announced yet, fans can look forward to more high-octane action.
The decision to greenlight another installment in the John Wick series comes as no surprise, especially considering the monumental success of John Wick: Chapter 4. The film grossed over $440 million worldwide, continuing the remarkable trend where each movie in the series has outperformed its predecessor at the box office. However, the announcement raises questions about the narrative direction, given the conclusive ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
